I'm hoping to use R for spatial analysis.  In working through examples in Chapt. 4 of Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R I've come across the following error in trying to plot lines with the meuse data set.  The text is verbatim from the book.
Error in Lines(list(Line(cc))) : Single ID required

What does "Single ID required" mean?

Thanks.

In addition to which, R-sig-geo would be better place to ask.

This is in Chapter 3, and is mentioned in the errata on the book website,
http://www.asdar-book.org. The code download is also updated on the website. The
erratum is:

Chapter 3

Page 59: Top of page - from sp version 0.9-66, Lines objects must be give a
valid ID; changed to m.sl <- SpatialLines(list(Lines(list(Line(cc)), "1"))). 

Lines and Polygons objects must have valid IDs.

As mentioned in another reply, the R-sig-geo list may be more relevant for a
question of this kind.

Hope this clarifies,
