Hi Edzer and Roger,

The R ./configure was taken from the Installation and Administration manual
for installing R on Cygwin.

i have tried R CMD INSTALL ./gstat_0.9-42.tar.gz with the same result as
install.packages.

Results from session info.
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.6.1 (2007-11-26)
i686-pc-cygwin

locale:
C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base
loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] rcompgen_0.1-17

rgdal loads okay (have not tested for working)

Thank you for helping me with the problem.

CHeers,
Ed
