Success is of course in the eye of the beholder. You are free to change your own installation in arguably bad ways, but please do not advise others to do so on the list. Lots of peoiple may be misled by your suggestion. It would be possible to rebuild (guessing that you are using Windows) to rebuild an older source rgdal for newer R in order to retain previous behaviour, but messing with an installed library of R packages is always a questionable idea. Roger PS. Since the original posting was made (two months ago), rgdal has been revised, including IIRC changed messages in this case. --- Roger Bivand, NHH, Helleveien 30, N-5045 Bergen, roger.biv...@nhh.no

I have resolved the problem by removing the rgal-folder in the library and replacing it by an older version of November 2009. You can download that version of www.sovon.nl/temp/rgdal_nov_2009.zip Success!

Could a more explicit error message, linking the error to the problem with the names, be issued by writeOGR() ? Initially I even thought I could have a disk problem! I recently upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and to libgdal1-1.7.0.
