Hello all,
I am trying to install the package 'spdep' and get the following error
message when I invoke library(spdep) at the R prompt:
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), keep.source)
There is no package called 'maptools'
Error in library(spdep) : package/namespace load failed
I get this if I try to install 'on the fly' AND if I download directly
from the download mirror (http://probability.ca/cran/) and then install inside
my terminal (in superuser of course).
Any thoughts on where I can get 'maptools' or why it can't seem to
locate it if it is indeed on my machine?
Thanks,
Suzanne
maptools is a CRAN package. You need to install that first (using install.packages() for example). -roger Suzanne E.

That should mean that you can use it.
