Sorry I don't have access to either a VM to try it or SVN to get the docs...
you can view the docs here:

vignette("intro_sp")looks like the one to go for, but I thought we had the 'spdep' package on the disc which means vignette("sids") should work too.

Thanks, Barry. If it's OK with your I'll do the change.

Hi, just trying out the R quickstart in the latest nightly iso build.
the vignettes() thing seems to all work fine now, thanks.
at this step: library(maptools)
you get a message that rgeos is missing and it is falling back to gpclib, which has a restricted license and is disabled (it's non-free for commercial use), and instructions how to get approve it and get it going. Not exactly a smooth look for a demo.
install.packages("rgeos")
is only a 210kb download and quick build with no other dependencies, so why don't we just include it by default? GEOS is nice.

So you see what they look like? ;-)

and circumvent the licensing issue?

+1 for including rgeos in that case. I assume it links in with libgeos.so or similar so there's no great burden on the system.
Its also a prerequisite for how I'd like to develop the quickstart with some geometrical operations - I think there's another ticket for that!
No time to try it or test it at the moment...

the licensing issue is with gpclib (which we currently ship), not rgeos (which we don't currently ship, but probably should)

rgeos added to the install packages list. will close the ticket once it is tested.

ps- for next time we should have a look at what's shown up as r-cran-* ubuntu packages & use those.
vignette("intro_sp")looks like the one to go for, but I thought we had the 'spdep' package on the disc which means vignette("sids") should work too.
