Roger,
I in fact did my homework, but I've got a C.
As you can see on my previous message I did find the RGDAL Source Forge page
where it shows the CVS instructions ===> [1] <===. That would give a B+ at
least, no? If it worked.
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/rgdal login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/rgdal
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to
rgdal.cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.108):2401 failed: Connection refused
That was a dead end.
Correct. When I tried, anonymous checkout from sourceforge was also
blocked - nothing we've done, maybe something sourceforge has done. I have
changed the main description to:
"WARNING: rgdal is only available for download from CRAN - this repository
is only used for development and browsing of source code. NEVER use the
very out of date file bundles for download from this site!!! See
http://rgdal.sourceforge.net for link."
Short of migrating to R-forge (which I have done for another R package,
spdep), there isn't much that can be done with sourceforge, I'm afraid
(sourceforge isn't my favorite place to be).
cc: Tim: Any idea why the anonymous checkout fails? Longer term - is
migration to SVN on R-Forge worth considering?

I download some of those zip packages from rgdal.sourceforge.net but they
only have binary that requires FWTools installation.
Another dead end.
But you are right I should have search a little more to find the CRAN page.
So I am downloading rgdal_0.6-2.5.zip now. Let's see how it goes.
That is the current Windows CRAN binary, get rgdal_0.6-25.tar.gz for the
source. Install the Windows binary within R - do *not* treat the zip
archive as an archive - it is just a frozen binary version of the source
for Windows.
Roger
Thanks you so very much Roger. Have a nice day.

Please, do your homework!
Google on "R rgdal" gives:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgdal/index.html
http://rgdal.sourceforge.net/
where the latter says: "The R contributed package rgdal is available from
CRAN", that is the first link. On CRAN you will find both the source
tarball
and a Windows 32-bit binary including 1.7.1 with standard drivers and expat
for reading KML etc.
The sourceforge site is used exclusively as a CVS repository for developers
- it hasn't been used for software distribution since about 2004; the CRAN
distribution mechanism is far more robust and "just works".
Refer to show.file(system.file("README.windows", package="rgdal")) if you
need to build from source for more exotic drivers.
The relevant mailing list is R-sig-geo,
https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/R-SIG-Geo/, and the best
point of entrance, the R Spatial task view:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html.
Hope this helps,
Roger

Hi there,
I am trying to get RGDAL to work with GDAL 1.7.1 but I cannot access the
source code [1] and the binaries for Windows depend on some old version of
gdal_fw.dll. Does anybody have any clue?
Regards,
Ivan
