Error in ggplot ... could not find function "ggplot"

I don't know where you found a copy of ggplot, since it's no longer available on CRAN. ggplot2 has completely replaced it. - Andrie
I would reopen. I think gsk's answer is probably the right one and its definitely a FAQ even if it's not in the FAQ. - IRTFM
@DWin: yes it is, see FAQ 7.30 ... - Ben Bolker
@DWin : it is the right answer, so no more answers needed. These kind of questions best disappear into oblivion. - Joris Meys
@Joris Meys: I guess you changed your mind on that point? (Since you posted a basically an identical question later.) - IRTFM

This question is answered comprehensively in the r-faq:
