[R-sig-Geo] dismo package : gbif function error

[Robert J. Hijmans]

The web-service that the function depends on has changed. It should
work with the development version of dismo (version 1.0-8). You should
be able to install it from R-Forge like this:

install.packages("dismo", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
