problems loading spproj library for transform()

Hello

I have the same problem, I've been meaning to explore further before 
posting, but since spproj is not on CRAN I don't think I've missed 
something obvious. This seems to be related to rgdal 0.4-4:

## using data from ?project example

library(rgdal)

## project works OK
  data(state)
  res <- project(cbind(state.center$x, state.center$y), "+proj=lcc 
+lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100")
  res1 <- project(res, "+proj=lcc +lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100", 
inv=TRUE)

## but transform does not

res <- SpatialPoints(res, CRS("+proj=lcc +lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100"))

transform(res, CRS("+proj=longlat"))
