[R-sig-Geo] package raster stack function do not work

Fri Jan 20 19:16:23 CET 2012

Thanks Rafael,
I was able to instal rgdal etc alright, but when I went to do anything
with the rasters, that was when I hit problems - I was told I was out
of memory (which made no sense).  I suppose it is possible I didn't
install it correctly however...
