Hello,

I've been getting the following error  when using the mlogit function from
the mlogit package

This is one of the examples provided in the Package "mlogit" January 27,
2010 description

data("Fishing", package="mlogit")
Fish <- mlogit.data(Fishing, varying = c(4:11), shape="wide",
choice="mode")
summary(mlogit(mode ~ pr + ca - 1, data = Fish))


Call:
Error in deparse(obj...@call) :
 trying to get slot "call" from an object (class "mlogit") that is not an
S4 object

I'm running on Windows XP  R 2.10.1

Does anyone have any ideas why this is failing ?

I cannot replicate this problem. I get the desired result (see below). This is also unlikely to be a problem in the package itself because the examples are checked daily on CRAN, see
  http://CRAN.R-project.org/web/checks/check_results_mlogit.html

My guess is that you have loaded some other package (other than "mlogit") that defines an S4 generic for summary() that somehow messes up the dispatch for mlogit. Please try to reinstall the package and run the package in a fresh R session to check whether the problem persists.

Best,
