The definition of the spTransform method was moved as of sp 1.0-9 and 
rgdal 0.8-8 from rgdal to sp. I cannot reproduce your problem on R 3.0.0, 
so there may be differences between the methods package in 3.0.0 and 
2.15.3, but I suggest reinstalling sp, then rgdal, in that order to ensure 
that the methods database is refreshed. Did you use update.packages() - 
which sorts rgdal before sp? That shouldn't hurt, as rgdal 0.8-8 depends 
on sp >= 1.0-9, so should not install if the sp version is earlier.
