Thanks, Roger,
I Downloaded binaries from Kyngchaos for the package and followed the
instructions
in his readme.
After a fresh restart of R ( to get sp loaded at the user level ) the rgdal
package loaded just fine.
Question? why do folks suggest loading extra packages at the user level.
just curious.
I'm really looking forward to working with the package. Thanks ever so much.
Steve
