Hi all,

I am trying to read some ArcView raster data into R (data located at:
http://www.sage.wisc.edu/atlas/data.php?incdataset=Suitability%20for%20Agriculture
).

I have had the experience mentioned by others in previous posts, where
RArcInfo crashes and can't seem to handle this file (although it isn't very
big), so I've been attempting to follow the advice posted here and use
rgdal. Unfortunately, I don't get very far:

p="/Users/jab/Desktop/suit/suit/hdr.adf"
x=new("GDALReadOnlyDataset",p)

returns: Error in .local(.Object, ...) :
  GDAL Error 3: Attempt to read past EOF in
/Users/jab/Desktop/suit/suit/../info/arc.dir.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Jen
