Installing a R package is different than attaching the package to your computer's memory. As an an analogy, think about installing a software program (from, say, a CD). After installing the program onto your computer, you need to open it up in order to use it.
The way to attach a R package to your computer's memory is: library(package name), where "package name" is replaced by whichever package(s) you want to load. For example, you would put library(Rserve) somewhere in the beginning of your script.
