Hello:
    I am using S-Plus 4.5 on a Windows 2000 machine.  I have been trying to use the multinom() function from Prof. Ripley's nnet library.  Using the "housing" dataset from the MASS library, I type:
 
house.mult <- multinom(Sat ~ Infl+Type+Cont, weights=Freq, data="">
 
I received the following message:

# weights:  24 (14 variable)
Error in nnet.default(X, Y, w, mask = mask, size = 0, skip = T, softm..: Compiled code has not been dynamically loaded
Dumped
 
Is it because this library does not work with S-Plus 4.5 or have I loaded the library incorrectly?  I appreciate any suggestions.
 
Secondly, from a statistical point of view, what are the different assumptions (and strengths, limitations) involved in using a multinomial logit vs. probit model?
 
Thanks,
 
Michael
