?There's no Mac binary because there's no rgdal on R-forge. There's probably enough spatial packages on there that it wouldn't be a reasonable request for them to have it..
Got it and rgdal for Mac OS is a whole other issue....

?'weather'? I don't know why my webmaps, or brew, would need that - did you mistype 'webmaps'? ?That would explain:
library(webmaps) Error in library(webmaps) : there is no package called 'webmaps'
Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong here?
?My hypothesis is that you typed 'weather' instead of 'webmaps' :) There is a package on r-forge called 'weather'.
This is strange. I would not rule out a misspelling on my part but I tried the script again after installing all of the needed dependencies from CRAN and it still installs weather. I also tried to install webmaps from the Mac GUI and same thing happens. This is even after restarting R. So I downloaded the source files and ran in the Terminal cd ~/Downloads R CMD INSTALL webmaps_1.2.tar.gz And all is well. Thanks for your help, I am going through the vignette now. Michael
Also is there a way to tell what the package dependencies are for a package hosted on R forge?
?Look at the DESCRIPTION file in the SCM section: https://r-forge.r-project.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/pkg/DESCRIPTION?rev=23&root=webmaps&view=markup For webmaps you'll need: Depends: sp, rgdal, brew, pixmap Hope that helps!
