[R-sig-Geo] Importing ESRI Shapefile into RSAGA

[Paul Hiemstra]

Hi,

A quick google showed that SAGA supports the GDAL library for data 
import and export. This library should (specifically the OGR part) 
supports ESRI shapefile (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html). So 
I think you must be more specific on which commands you used to try and 
load the shapefile, which version of RSAGA, R, SAGA you are using. If 
you have GDAL installed, if so, which version. Check if that version 
supports shapefiles, if not, get a version that does.

cheers,
Paul
