problem installing spgrass6 with R 2.5.1

[Mauricio Zambrano]

Hi,
I had R 2.4.1 with spgrass6 library running OK in my machine, but
after an upgrade from 2.4.1 to 2.5.1 problems have started.

When I loaded the SPGRASS6 library, I got the following:

> library(spgrass6)
Loading required package: sp
Loading required package: maptools
Loading required package: foreign
Loading required package: rgdal
Error in .Internal(putenv(x)) : no hay ninguna función interna "putenv"
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'rgdal'
Error: package 'rgdal' could not be loaded

When I tried to re-install the SPGRASS6 library I got this:

> install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies=TRUE)
Aviso en install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies = TRUE) :
         argument 'lib' is missing: using

Somebody has an idea about how to solve it ?.

Thanks in advance

update.packages()

to update rgdal - it is the outdated version of rgdal which is causing the
problem.

Thanks, but I tried several times with update.packages() and the
problem still persisted.

I uninstall R and all the installed packages and I re-installed only:

-) r-base,
-) r-recommended
-) r-base-dev

Then I did update.packages() and again I tried to install SPGRASS6 with:

> install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies=TRUE)

but again it was impossible and the next screen appeared:

Aviso en install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies = TRUE) :

Do somebody know if the problem is with the 'lib' parameter or it
could be anything else ?

Thanks

Thanks anyway.Strangely, I solved the problem doing:

1) > install.packages("rgdal", dependencies=TRUE)

2) quit R (I don't know if it was necessary)

3) > install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies=TRUE)

and everything it is OK now:

Aviso en install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies = TRUE) :
