Dear Guido, Do you know how the gdb is stored? I had problems reading for a gdb on our networkdrive. Reading from a local copy worked. It turned out that the original copy on the networkdrive was indexed. Reading an unindexed gdb from the networkdrive was no problem.

Unfortunately I still can't open the database, even though the OpenfileGDB driver is used. When I list the layers and then try to load one of the layers, I get the error message that no features are found: ogrListLayers("Stoy.gdb") [1] "veg_storbyomrader" "veg_traffikert_veg" "flyplass_store_flyplasser" "bane_storbyomrader" [5] "bane_traffikert_bane" attr(,"driver") [1] "OpenFileGDB" attr(,"nlayers") [1] 5 > m = readOGR("Stoy.gdb",layer = "veg_storbyomrader") Error in readOGR("Stoy.gdb", layer = "veg_storbyomrader") : no features found In addition: Warning message: In ogrFIDs(dsn = dsn, layer = layer) : no features found Is this likely due to the database, or could this be a problem with the driver? In case that helps, here is the link to the map layer I want to extrac (the link is to a web page, but I have the data base file). http://www.miljostatus.no/kart/?lang=no&extent=152517|6532562|210570|6557188&layers=147:46;20:100;138:100;&basemap=KART&opacity=71&saturation=90 Best - Guido On Sun, Oct 26, 2014 at 7:21 AM, Michael Sumner <mdsum...@gmail.com> wrote: > This driver is present in the Windows binary on CRAN (at least it was > in July): > https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/attachments/20140710/5dda6bc4 > /attachment.pl > > I'm not sure about on Linux, I thought it was there but I may have > inadvertently switched to an older GDAL on some systems.
