Hi Addy, I made today a fresh install of QGIS (osgeo4w), R (2.9.2), adehabitat/rgdal/gpclib (and dependencies) and the HR plugin in the new laptop (Windows Seven) of a ex colleague: it all worked "fine".
The problem is similar to the one I already reported here while ago (http://lists.faunalia.it/pipermail/animov/2010-May/000590.html ): R installs the libraries in a folder called C:\Users\username\Documents\R\win-library\2.9 but then the plugin (the HR one, like others that R based) looks into C:\Users\username\R\win-library\2.9 I then created manually the folder C:\Users\username\R\win-library\2.9 and then copied in there everything was in C:\Users\username\Documents\R \win-library\2.9 not elegant, but worked. After this the plugin was fully working (I used the sample dataset to test it: http://www.faunalia.it/animov/scripts/sample.csv srid:3003) cheers -- Giovanni -- On Tue, 2011-01-25 at 21:14 +0100, Addy de Jongh wrote: > Hi, > > It has become clear to me that the latest windows binaries for the following > R packages > > * package adehabitat and its dependencies > * package rgdal and its dependencies > * package gpclib > > have been build under R version 2.12.1.
