On Windows XP with R version 2.5.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-01-22 r40548) I always get a message about grdevices when I run Rscript, e.g. C:\> rscript NUL During startup - Warning messages: 1: there is no package called 'grdevices' in: library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc , character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, 2: package grdevices in options("defaultPackages") was not found
