[R] Concatenate xyplots

Hi room, 
Is there any R package that solves a non linear objective pb, with
linear equality constraint? 

A simple example   
a =c (2, 5, 6, 7, 2) 

b = c (7, 1, 4, 5, 6) 

a and b are vectors of length 5

minimise f(x, a) = sum( (x-a)^2)  such that  sum( x*b) = 50. 

where x is the control variable. 
N.B. 
For your info, I believe the structure of these solvers:
nlm, nlimb, lp, optim, optimize, constrOptim, solveLP, solve.QP, etc... 
are not appropriate for it.
Solve.QP is the closest to a quad pb with inequality constraints which
when changed to two inequality constraints produces a degenerated
solution due to the fact that the Amat matrix's rows are dependent.

Thanks

Mama
