[R-sig-Geo] Error using spsample on SpatialLines in Linux OS

[Glenn Stauffer]

Thanks. I'm out of the office until Monday, but I'll try your suggestions next week. I do suspect that maybe there is some little piece missing in the installation (of sp or something else) that just didn't quite go right in Mint (I'm new to Mint).

The code also works fine on my Mac, and an RHEL (linux) machine to which I have access (though both are still at R 3.4.2 and sp_1.2-5).

You could focus in on the problem a bit by trying the following (I expect you will see the same error)

> sp::LineLength(pts)
[1] 123.0096

Starting with spsample(), and drilling down, eventually LineLength() calls the C function sp_lengths.  LineLength() is pretty simple, and I don't see any evidence that it depends on other packages. I'm not the expert that Edzer is, but it pretty much looks like an installation problem with sp, sorry to say. I can't think of anything else...

Sorry I'm not more helpful,

> sp::LineLength(pts, sum=FALSE)
[1] 15.81139  7.81025 42.37924 57.00877

> SpatialLinesLengths(L)
[1] 123.0096

> LinesLength(L at lines[[1]])

    Do you mean the sp package? I should have mentioned that I already tried
    that.

    I would try reinstalling the package.
