[R-sig-Geo] MacOS spatial packages installation

[jwm302]

Hi Roger

I am really battling to get maptools package to work on on my system (OS X
10.9.3 Mavericks - see session at bottom of message). Everything was working
fine but since I upgraded from R version 3.0 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee
Sailing” to R 3.0.2 “Spring Dance”  (because suddenly the extract function
wasn’t working anymore things started to break. 

rgdal seems to be working because I am able to do commands like this with no
error:  surfWater <- readOGR("Surface_water/gns_swb", "gns_swb”) 

I have spent hours sifting through forum posts and the like, but all to no
avail. Either I am missing something obvious, or I am not command line savy
enough to find a solution . This forum (right at the bottom) seems to
suggest that you don’t need to install map tools from source, that the
binaries are available on CRAN. But I see over here
(http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/maptools/index.html) that OS X
Mavericks binaries are not available. I am confused because I get conflicted
results from my searching on forums. 

I would just like to resolve the issue as soon as possible so that I can get
on with my work.

But as you can see, when I invoke maptools package I get a horrible looking
error and R crashes (the same happens when I perform the same code from the
command line
