Comment:

 Hi,

 seems to work for me now (almost), bug resolved?

 the list of dependencies takes a few iterations to get past, but after
 following the R+GRASS install instructions on the GRASS wiki, and after
 that is working
  install.packages("put-pkg-name-here")
 in an R session for all the ones v.krige complained about missing.

 As commented earlier in the ticket, probably explicitly listing them in
 the v.krige man page, and as a footer section in the GRASS wiki's "R" page
 will help folks get through them quickly. I wonder how we could automate
 that more?

 ----

 I do get one error now when I run it in grass7:
 {{{
 [...]
 Checking rgeos availability as gpclib substitute:
 TRUE
 Loading required package: automap
 GSelect: invalid item: descriptor 'lower' requires a 'unicode' object but
 received a 'str
 }}}

 We've seen that before in the main wx.gui, and ISTR it's an easy fix. I'm
 using `LANG=C`.


 thanks,
 Hamish


 ps- trac-tip: if you comment or change a ticket you're automatically added
 to the cc-list. If you take ownership you have to then manually add the
 grass-dev ML to the cc-list.

 pps- do you lose anything by using the free-for-all-use rgeos cran package
 versus the first-tried free-for-commercial-use gpclib cran package? aka
 why not make rgeos the default?
