package raster stack function do not work

You might need the right combination of R, GDAL, rgdal and tell R how to install properly.

The following may help. I want to state that I neither now the author of www.kyngchaos.com and its packages, nor do I anyhow profit from mentioning the website. It just helps me get R and GDAL running smoothly on my Mac...

1) install R version 2.13.2

2) install "GDAL complete" from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks

3) download and unzip rgdal which matches with the R version your http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks

4) open shell, goto folder where you have unzipped rgdal:

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.8/Programs/gdal-config --with-proj-include=/opt/local/include --with-proj-lib=/opt/local/lib' rgdal

This works for me...

I have also been having difficulties in the raster package. ?I had a
hard drive crash and installed 2.13 on my new computer but had
difficulty with the rgdal package, so I switched back to 2.12. ?Now I
am finding that things like zlim are not working in the raster package
plot functions, and that some of my output is inexplicably blurry
(just raster data, nothing else) despite using identical code to what
worked prior to my computer switch.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to reconcile these differences?

Hi Carsten,

I recently had the same issue, updating R (in my case to 2.13.2) helped!

Dear raster users,

I updated to the newest raster package and instantly all my scripts including stack() and subsequently plot() functions do not worked anymore. The error message after plotting is:


d1<-stack('Hasenheide_RGB.img')
plot(d1,3)

############################################################################
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) ?:
?unable to find an inherited method for function "extent", for signature "NULL"
In addition: Warning messages:

I did it with several multidimensional rasters that provide allways the same error message. Where is the problem?
