I recently installed R 2.10
Now I get
> library(RGoogleDocs)
Loading required package: RCurl
Loading required package: bitops
Loading required package: XML
Attaching package: 'RGoogleDocs'
The following object(s) are masked from package:methods :
getAccess
Warning message:
package 'RGoogleDocs' was built under R version 2.9.1 and help will not work
correctly
Please re-install it
But alas reinstalling it does not take away the error message.
