Hello. Any idea if this map package will be ported to R-windows? What is in it that is Unix/Linux dependent? not the computations and projections, must be only the plotting?
I appears that this is really big-endian vs little-endian. I don't see why you can't install the _intel version on Windows. It is not a standard package, though, so you would need to change its Makefiles. By deleting the Makefile and moving all the sources into maps/src I was able to cross-compile it, which indicates some hope.

Hi everybody Does any of you know how to mimick the functionality of the Splus library "maps " in R? I.E.:I'd like to draw contours of the US and individual states, and be able to overlay points by giving lat/long coordinates to points() or text() functions. I'd be a happy camper with just the state-level resolution. . . .
A port to R without projection by Ray Brownrigg is available on: ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ with versions for Linux/Intel or Solaris/Sparc - it's largish, because it includes the binary versions of the databases. It was last updated in September 2000. It was first mentioned in r-help on 13 November 1999, with the above address. I can confirm that it works for 1.3.0 on RH7.0 Linux Intel:
map('state')
