With some trepidation, rgeos - an interface to Geometry Engine - Open Source (GEOS) for topology operations on sp geometries - is now released on CRAN as a source package. A Windows binary package should follow within a couple of days. If an OSX binary package is offered on CRAN extras, information will be given, otherwise use the Kyngchaos framework and install from source. Contributions of bug reports, code patches, and extensions are welcome, especially via R-Forge. Congratulations to Colin Rundel for a very thorough implementation during GSoC 2010!
The Windows binary package is now available on CRAN, and thanks to Prof. Brian Ripley, an OSX binary package is available on CRAN Extras, (the second default repository on OSX R installs). Roger
Enjoy! Roger
