ggplot2 download

[Sara Fung]

Hi all, 

I have downloaded 

install.packages(ggplot2,dependencies=TRUE)

but it failed to produce a graph:

graph<-ggplot(dataframe, aes(x,y))

it says

Error in rename(x, .base_to_ggplot, warn_missing = FALSE) : 

  could not find function "revalue"

Does it related to my R version (2.15.2 on Mac)? I have no problem to use this package before ( much older version, on Windows).

Please make sure you have install the dependent package "plyr", perhaps also "scales" and "gtable".

e.g. 

install.packages(c("plyr", "ggplot2", "scales", "gtable")) 

and then maybe run 

update.packages()

To update all packages to the latest version.

Thank you Hong, all steps followed but the same warning message still appear, any more thing I can do? I bet you have the same version of R but you don't have this problem, what would possibly go wrong with mine?

Would you please post the output of

require(ggplot2)
sessionInfo()

Your problem is similar to this one

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/ggplot2/jNn8D9p_QC4/discussion

The latest version of ggplot (0.9.3) and plyr (1.8) is problematic. I need to install them from source tarball in my Linux machine.

A suggested way of solving the issue is to start a fresh R session and install ggplot and plyr again.

i.e. fire up terminal and then

R --vanilla

Then install the ggplot and plyr as usual. 

install.packages(c("plyr", "ggplot2", "scales", "gtable"), dependencies=TRUE) 

I haven't try that. It is no harm to try.

oh good to know that I'm not the only one.  Thank you for your timely effort helping me solve the puzzle.  I followed your suggestion, closed and reopen R and checked and downloaded the updates without re-download the ggplot, and it's work and it's double checked.  So I guess it's done.  Thanks again. s
