[R] climstats

[Jenny Williams]

It seems to load now on 3.0.2 32bit and 64bit but NOT 3.0.1. 
install.packages("climstats", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", type="source")

I did have to manually install some of the dependencies.
There were 2 of us that tried loading climstats on different machines so there must have been a blip with our firewall or something.

Now that I have climstats loaded the function I am trying to use doesn't work. 
I can bring up the help file:
?spatial_sync_raster

but I get this error when I try to use the function:
Error: could not find function "spatial_sync_raster"

My error apparently. I have in the past had incorrect installations of GDAL that prevented rgdal from loading properly and my sometimes fuzzy memory was that I fixed this by reinstalling GDAL. So I thought they were independent installations. Apologies for the noise.
