It is perhaps easier than you think, see the example in gstat: library(gstat) ?krige
After this is run "meuse" is a SpatialPointsDataFrame: coordinates(meuse) = ~x+y Any point shapefile read with readOGR from rgdal (or the alternative functions in maptools) will also be SpatialPointsDataFrames, and so the code will work much the same. To use other kriging functions that perhaps use data.frames, just use as.data.frame(x) to convert a SpatialPointDataFrame to the non-spatial version. Cheers, Mike.
