[R-sig-Geo] writeRaster error

[Lyndon Estes]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for that.

FYI, I upgraded to rgdal 0.6-28 but am still getting the same error,
in case anyone else tries this approach. I upgraded the entire GDAL
framework from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks (moving me
from GDAL 1.7.2 to 1.7.3), which bundles in the rgdal 0.6-28.

So, I will try raster 1.6-19 tomorrow.

Thanks, Lyndon
