[R] installing package maps

[Ott Toomet]

HI,

Is there anybody using package maps, available at
ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/

I have installed it (version  maps_0.1-3.tar.gz wich seems to be latest, on
R 1.5.1, linux), but whatever I do, I get a segfault.  Discussion in the
mailing list suggests that the package is not finished yet but is still
usable, at least on some platforms.  Does anybody has experience with
similar problems, e.g. as

> library(maps)
> map()

Process R segmentation fault (core dumped) at Thu Aug 22 10:57:09 2002

The installation seems to be OK, see below.  Perhaps I need to set some
options?

Ott
