No possibility of helping now, mostly offline to 8 August.
SQLite depends on the GDAL driver, which depends on an external library (or several). The Windows and OSX rgdal binaries are built in as minimal way as possible, linking statically. Adding SQLite possibly with Spatialite is not currently feasible, and binary builds typically include GEOS, which we don't want as it is used through rgeos, not rgdal. We certainly should try to do something, but not by introducing any external dependencies, so first check drivers available in the CRAN Windoes and OSX binaries (which are built by the CRAN team, not me).

Roger, all, greetings from the community sprint: http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:GRASS_Community_Sprint_Como_2015 On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 9:15 AM, Markus Neteler <nete...@osgeo.org> wrote:All, attached a simple (potentially ugly?) change to enable "SQLite" as a new driver for reading GRASS GIS 7 vector data into R (readVECT("vectmap, driver="SQLite")). I would really appreciate to see "SQLite" support added since it seems to be the only lossless OGR driver (e.g. unlike the default "SHAPE" file driver). I'll not commit this myself to r-forge since I am not sure if it should be implemented differently. Please verify.Do you have any suggestions how to add SQLite support for a better vector interface? thanks Markus
