Hello everyone,

I'm quite new to R and have done a few basic Intro tutorials so far. To 
clarify: I'm using the newest version of R (3.0.2.) with RStudio on a 
Windows 7 PC.

I intend on using R to draw up and analyse LoCoH home ranges for a small 
data set I have. Now I'm trying to familiarise myself with /adehabitat/ 
and /adehabitatHR/.
However, when I try to run through the tutorials with the sample data I 
encounter problems with the package /gpclib/. I have done some research 
on in and I understand that /gpclib/ requires a permit and shouldn't be 
used - apparently the package /rgeos/ can substitute  for it. This, 
however does not seem to work for me.

If I try to install /gpclib/ (from a download as no binary version 
available for windows) I get this:

>install.packages("C:/Users/Isabella/Downloads/gpclib_1.5-5.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
Installing package into 'C:/Users/Isabella/Documents/R/win-library/3.0'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
* installing *source* package 'gpclib' ...
** package 'gpclib' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** libs
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'gpclib'
* removing 'C:/Users/Isabella/Documents/R/win-library/3.0/gpclib'
Warning in install.packages :
   running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-30~1.2/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL -l "C:\Users\Isabella\Documents\R\win-library\3.0" "C:/Users/Isabella/Downloads/gpclib_1.5-5.tar.gz"' had status 1
Warning in install.packages :
   installation of package 'C:/Users/Isabella/Downloads/gpclib_1.5-5.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status


Consequently I tend to get this message:

In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE,  :
   there is no package called 'gpclib'


This here is the closest what I found to relate to my problem but I 
don't really understand what to do: 
http://tlocoh.r-forge.r-project.org/manual_install.html
This was the tutorial I'm trying to walk through: 
http://locoh.cnr.berkeley.edu/rtutorial

What I am looking for now are is some easy-to-understand guidance of how 
to get /adehabitat/ to work without /gpclib/ *OR* how to get /gpclib/ to 
work.

Please let me know if you need more information or what I am doing 
wrong, I'm grateful for any help.

Cheers, Bella
