Hi,

This is my first post to R-help.  I'm having trouble getting rgeos to work.

Info on the server and packages I'm using:

$ *uname -a*
Linux some-server.somewhere.com 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar

gDstnc> p2 = readWKT("POLYGON((2 0,3 1,4 0,2 0))")

gDstnc> gDistance(pt1,pt2)
R: GeometryComponentFilter.cpp:34: virtual void
geos::geom::GeometryComponentFilter::filter_ro(const

I'd like to be able to use the gDistance function.  What should I do to fix
this?

Please let me know if any additional information would be helpful.

Thank you for your time,

Adrian

R-help is arguably too general to help, please ask questions of this kind on
R-sig-geo.

How did you install rgeos (from source)? Are other versions of GEOS present
not installed as RPMs?

...
rgeos is tested regularly and frequently, so the issue here is on your
platform, I'm afraid.
The simplest way is to install GEOS from source, because you avoid relying
on upstream packaging. This will however interfere with other software that
may depend on your existing GEOS.
