Is there anybody using package maps, available at ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ I have installed it (version maps_0.1-3.tar.gz wich seems to be latest, on R 1.5.1, linux), but whatever I do, I get a segfault. Discussion in the mailing list suggests that the package is not finished yet but is still usable, at least on some platforms. Does anybody has experience with similar problems, e.g. as
Sorry about that. I have now put up maps_0.1-4.tar.gz. The 0.1-3 version was fine on Solaris (which is where I had tested it first). Unfortunately, I suspect that neither of these versions will work under Windows, which is what prompted the changes to the sources in the first place. Note that the 0.1-X series is now (Unix-) platform independent, since the map databases are created from text files (the earlier 1.0-X_[intel|sparc] versions included binary databases). If anybody has succeeded in getting a Windows version that also compiles and runs under Unix, I'd be happy to test it (on Solaris, Digital Unix and RedHat7.3) so that it can be submitted to CRAN.
