On a different RHEL 4 i386 with R version 2.4.0 (2006-09-01 r39049), and
fully updated sp CVS from
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/r-spatial checkout sp
CND check sp passes with no error (with RColorBrewer the only installed
package in a test library).
I'll try again on the first machine (which is also RHEL 4 i386, but where
R was at 2006-08-31 r39045, and where there may have been configuration
issues (wrong library path?).
