G'day all,

Please excuse my not finding this, but having just upgraded maptools, there appears to be some issue over gpclib - not looking for trouble, I installed rgeos from r-forge, and it seems to be loadable, but loading maptools I still get the following message.

> library(rgeos)
Loading required package: sp
GEOS runtime version: 3.2.0-CAPI-1.6.0 
> library(maptools)
Loading required package: foreign
Loading required package: lattice

	Note: polygon geometry computations in maptools
 	depend on the package gpclib, which has a
 	restricted licence. It is disabled by default;
 	to enable gpclib, type gpclibPermit()

Checking rgeos availability as gpclib substitute:
FALSE

Have I missed something on installation?(I'm using William Kyngesbury's GEOS Frameworks)

cheers

Ben
