Subject: [Rd] failure to find lapply (PR#9999)
Message-ID: <20071011091131.3DA042834169@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

I have been unable to reproduce this problem but the warning I got told 
me to send a bug report, so here it is.

After a fairly lengthy session, using the ape and ade4 packages, 
conducted via a terminal in kate under kubuntu 6.06 linux , I found 
errors claiming not to find lapply- see first  section below.

...
 > if(nas>0){
+ tree<-drop.tip(tree,tip=which(is.na(scorei)))
+ scorei<-scorei[which(!is.na(scorei))]
+ }
Error in paste("as.", value, sep = "") : could not find function "lapply"
 > tree2<-newick2phylog(write.tree(tree, multi.line=FALSE))
Error in paste("%.", digits, "g", sep = "") :
  could not find function "lapply"
 > n<-length(tree$tip.label)-1
 > e<-rep(NA,n)
 > k<-1/(1:n)
 > for(j in 1:n){
+ Error in sapply(c("(", ")"), function(s) gregexpr(s, substr(line, 1, 
cursor),  :
  could not find function "lapply"
 > e[j]<-sum(k[j:n])
Error: object "j" not found
 > Error in sapply(c("(", ")"), function(s) gregexpr(s, substr(line, 1, 
cursor),  :
  could not find function "lapply"
 > }

...

This continued in a similar vein as I had pasted in quite a few lines 
until the warning suggesting a bug report (below).
As can be seen below, this error prevented directly calling either 
bug.report() or sessionInfo(), however the R.version output was possible 
and the output from bug.report() and sessionInfo() from another session 
started just after on the same machine are given below:

...

Error in paste("as.", value, sep = "") : could not find function "lapply"
 > Error in sapply(c("(", ")"), function(s) gregexpr(s, substr(line, 1, 
cursor),  :
  could not find function "lapply"
 > scorei<-scorei[which(!is.na(scorei))]
Warning message:
An unusual circumstance has arisen in the nesting of readline input.
