spproj depends on the external library PROJ.4 from: http://www.remotesensing.org/proj which you need to install first. Roger
Dear Roger, Thanks for your quick reply. The installation of Proj is actually not mentioned on the r-spatial pages. Maybe a point of attention. I already checked and now double checked the installation of Proj: I have proj-4.4.9-1suse10.0.i586 installed (using the rpm from GDF). There is a directory: usr/share/proj While there is an executable: usr/bin/proj Is spproj expecting it somewhere else? Sander.
