This information is just what is needed.

All of these are now superceded, and what is happening here is that the
(older) spgwr "view" of the sp classes no longer fits reality. This is a
bit of a problem if you need to keep R 2.0.1, rather than upgrading to R
2.1.0. If you upgrade, you can install the current sp package from CRAN,
and the Windows binary (spgwr_0.3-1) with the commands given on the
R-spatial homepage:

rSpatial <- "http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/R"
install.packages("spgwr", repos=rSpatial)

But that is presupposing you are prepared to upgrade R itself. If not, 
then that functionality is not available. Please let the list know how you 
get on, sp is developing nicely, but there is plenty of opportunity to 
contribute ideas and reports.
