Tim,

Please try this:
1. run grass,
2. start an xterm from the grass console
xterm &
3.  cd to the directory where you have your .RData file
4. Start R
5. require(spgrass6)
6. gmeta6()

If you get the same error, then I think you have the same problem I had
few weeks ago and was solved thanks to Markus Nettler. It's a grass problem
and has nothing to see with R. Actually, if at step 4 you run
g.region -p
you would get the same error.
Do the following:

1. Locate  your grass.conf file (mine is under /etc/ld.so.conf.d)
2. Change
/usr/lib/grass/lib
to
/usr/lib/grass64/lib

(check where the lib directory of your grass is, mine is under /usr/lib/grass64)

3. run
sudo ldconfig

4. gmeta() should work now.

I tried to get the ubuntugis packagers to fix this, but apparently
nobody cares. See:

for more info.

Hope this helps.

Hi Daniel,

No, as it was I was trying to run things through R. Grass was (is) running, but just incidentally. Your comment made me think I needed to run initGRASS() first, so I tried, but got the following:

> initGRASS(gisBase="/Library/GRASS/6.4", gisDbase="/Users/timholland/Documents/GIS/Vietnam_General/VN_GrassDbase") Error in initGRASS(gisBase = "/Library/GRASS/6.4", gisDbase = "/Users/timholland/Documents/GIS/Vietnam_General/VN_GrassDbase") :
  A GISRC file already exists; to override, set override=TRUE

Should I be running R through GRASS? (as opposed to vice-versa, as had been my understanding). If so, how do I do that?
Again, sorry for really basic questions, but thank you for the help.

Best,
Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Is R running within a GRASS session?

    Regards,
    Daniel.

        Hello,
        I'm sorry to keep making so much noise on the list for what
        I'm sure are
basic questions. I am having trouble loading in a GRASS raster into R using the
        readRAST6
command. Using:
            readRAST6("rasterMap",mapset="/Users/etc/my_mapset")

        I get the following error:
            Error in if (file.exists(file) == FALSE) if
(!missing(asText) && asText ==
        :  argument is of length zero
            Error in parseGRASS(cmd) : g.region not parsed
            sh: g.region: command not found

Is there something I am doing wrong here? Also, when I am working with spgrass6 in general, should I
        have my working
        directory set to the GRASS DBase I am using, or does that
matter? Thank you for the help, Tim
