[R-sig-Geo] error using predict.sarlm

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your help so far. I tried your suggestion using the following 
code:

dak_test_vars.10nn.predict <- predict.sarlm(reg_vars_formula.lag, 
newdata=as(dak_test_vars, "data.frame"), listw = 
dak_test.10nn.listw,zero.policy=TRUE)

Now I get a new error message: "Error in invIrW(listw, object$rho) %*% 
trend : non-conformable arguments". I double checked the listw object and 
data frame properties. They are as follows:

nrow(as(dak_test_vars, "data.frame") = 2255
length(dak_test.10nn.listw)
[1] 3
names(dak_test.10nn.listw)
[1] "style"      "neighbours" "weights"   
length(dak_test.10nn.listw[[2]])
[1] 2255
length(coords_test)
[1] 4510

I am unsure of how to interpret this error. Do you have any advice? Thanks 
for your help.

Heather
