can't get gstat to work with R 2.14.0 on Mac

Hello,

I am unable to get gstat to load using R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31) on platform x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64 bit). The package was working before I updated my R version.

When I tried to load gstat before i had updated it, I got the following error message. (I include this in case there are clues that might indicate the source of my problem).
Loading required package: spacetime
Loading required package: xts
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : 
  unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/gstat/libs/x86_64/gstat.so':
  dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/gstat/libs/x86_64/gstat.so, 6): Library not loaded: @rpath/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libR.dylib
  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/gstat/libs/x86_64/gstat.so
  Reason: image not found
In addition: Warning messages:
1: replacing previous import ?is.projected? when loading ?spacetime? 
2: replacing previous import ?proj4string? when loading ?spacetime? 
3: replacing previous import ?proj4string<-? when loading ?spacetime? 
Error: package/namespace load failed for ?gstat?

I assumed this meant I needed to update/reinstall gstat, which I did from the GUI.
trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.14/gstat_1.0-10.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 2888795 bytes (2.8 Mb)
opened URL
==================================================
downloaded 2.8 Mb


The downloaded packages are in
	/var/folders/wB/wB-s9onCFfSt45x+FPq9rE+++TI/-Tmp-//Rtmpyy3Pnp/downloaded_packages

Then when I tried to load the library again, I got the following:
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : 
  internal error -3 in R_decompress1
Error: package/namespace load failed for ?gstat?

I've never seen this error before. 
Following the suggestions from a message on R-sig-ME regarding the library lme4a:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mixed-models/2011q3/006399.html
(I think it's irrelevant here, but I have Xcode installed.)

1. I tried installing the package from R-forge (maybe this would be better?)
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ?gstat? is not available (for R version 2.14.0)

2. I downloaded the "gstat" packages directly from CRAN and installed from the command line:

Molly$ R CMD INSTALL /Users/Molly/Downloads/gstat_1.0-10.tgz
* installing to library ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library?
* installing *binary* package ?gstat? ...

* DONE (gstat)

Still no luck. Does anyone have any advice for me as far as how to proceed? I apologize in advance if my problem has already been addressed and I failed to find it in the list archives. If this is the case, I would very much appreciate it if someone could send me a link.

Thanks for your time,

Molly Davies

Hi, earlier today I ran into the same kind of error (which I had never
seen before either), on a Linux x86_64:
what helped was re-installing all the packages it depended upon. So, I
would try to reinstall sp, spacetime and zoo, then reinstall gstat.

Let me know if this helps.

Also make sure you have the latest R.app 2.14.0 for Mac because there was an issue when installing packages from the R.app (in case you where using this). Please see:
