Avoid cross-posting to R-help and R-sig-geo... My earlier reply:
Hi Sandeep, You need to provide way more detail for us to be able to help you: - Which version of gstat do you want to install, ? - where did you get the sources, ? - is it the version inside R or the standalone version? - what version of R are you running? - *what is the exact error that gstat gave*? - have you tried the precompiled gstat standalone binaries? Furthermore, this is not the correct forum to get help for gstat, this is far more appropriate for the R-sig-geo mailing list. Another helpful mailing list is: http://www2.52north.org/mailman/listinfo/geostatistics good luck, Paul On 10/01/2011 04:34 PM, Sandeep Patil wrote: > Hello > > I have been trying to install gstat on university's unix based system ( i am > not familiar with many technical aspects of installation) but i am getting a > particular error which i could not find a solution to online.
