I have a ggplot2 plotting function as part of my code. The function works fine when the file is sourced as R code, however when I include this function in an R package (and of course I include ggplot2 and scales both in the DESCRIPTION and in the NAMESPACE files of the package) I am getting the following error:
Error in initFields(scales = scales) :
could not find function "initRefFields"
The respective call of scales in the ggplot2 object is the following:
+ facet_wrap(~PV_Type, ncol = 1, scales = "free") +
I run the latest R (3.2.0) and the latest ggplot2 (1.0.1) installed from source.
A possible solution/explanation will be highly appreciated!
EDIT: The output of sessionInfo() is the following:

The .libPaths() is also rather common for my installation:
>.libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library"
Perhaps I should also add that I call the function which requires the scales package from a command line R script.
(This is not a duplicate of ggplot2 Error in initFields as I tried all their recommendations (apart from reverting back to R 2.14 of course) and none worked).
I think I have found a solution/workaround.
As I noticed from sessionInfo() the methods package was not attached but rather loaded in the namespace. Therefore after attaching methods (as well as grid which was needed for a consequent function) my script work fine by oading the functions from the package.
My working sessionInfo() looks like this now:

Thanks very much for the contribution, however I would appreciate an explanation on firstly why there is the need to explicitly attach these two packages (methods and grid) when the functions are loaded as a package, and it is not required when the function are sourced by source().
