Using ubuntu 5.10 (so you now I'm newbie

). Got R from its' repositories.
I'm trying to learn GNU R for a much needed complete switch to linux. I have a file in spss.sav format that R has to read... I tried
Code:
foreign
#or#
read.spss
but for both (and any combination) it says: no object found. What am I doing wrong?
If I can open this file in R, this will be a huge step for me to learn R. I have r-base along with about 20 crans including r-cran-foreign, which is supposed to do this conversion.
Any help greatly appreciated. Sorry I begged too much
Solution: library(foreign)
god this thing is hard!
