[R] gstat error

[Dennis Murphy]

To add to David's comments (nice catch, BTW), I found three
variogram() functions as a result of ??variogram. The one that gets
used is from the package that is highest in the search path (notice
that gstat is 55th (!!)) - that would be the one from the spatial
package. [The other is in the SpatialExtremes package, which is not
loaded, so the one in spatial is masking the one in gstat.]

To use the variogram() function in gstat, call gstat::variogram (...).
