so you haven't really "installed" in the sense of "Rcmd INSTALL <pkgname>"
[ You didn't tell us, but you probably are using Micro$oft Windows?
On other platforms its "R CMD INSTALL <pkgname>" ]
and you (or whoever provided the ``pre-compiled'' package to you)
must run "Rcmd INSTALL" on that package where 'Rcmd' is any R
version 2.x.y (2.0.1, typically).
However, this won't work easily for you if you are on Windows,
since you need to first install quite a few tools before you can
build and install packages ```from source''
--> read the 'rw-faq' i.e. "R for windows Frequently Asked
Questions (and answers)" that is accessible from the [Help] menu
on Windows.

these are rather in connection with Lazyloading and other
features that more packages are using, but you shouldn't have to
know about.

"Rcmd INSTALL" (but see above)
