[R-sig-Geo] Problem with update gdistance 1.1-3

[Bastien.Ferland-Raymond at mrn.gouv.qc.ca]

Hello,

I want to expose a problem I am now facing with the gdistance package and the geoCorrection() function.

I have a code I haven't been using since March, and now, after updating R to 2.15.2 and the package gdistance to 1.1-3 from 1.1-2, the geoCorrection() function doesn't work.  It simply runs forever without giving any result.

My code is fine, as I tested it with my old computer still running R 2.15.0 and gdistance 1.1-2 and it does the task in 15 seconds.  The problem is really with the 1.1-3 version of gdistance.

## here a simple example of my code.
##  download le Rdata: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mo51vgft3fsmm5y/transi.RDATA

load("transi.Rdata")
library(gdistance)

transi <- transition(ras,transitionFunction=max, directions=8,symm=T) transi <- geoCorrection(transi)

I've tried it on win XP and windows 7,  32 and 64 bits, still the same problem.

I would be happy if somebody could fix it.

Thanks
