[STATSGRASS] kriging, gstat, GRASS

[Thomas Adams]

Edzer,

I'm re-visiting an old issue. Previously, using GRASS 5.3 & 5.4, I had 
no problems with using gstat & GRASS together. Now, I've gone to GRASS 
6.1 and gstat 2.4.5 (compiled with GRASS support) and I get errors. I 
apologize that I may have contacted you before about this, but I can not 
find any old emails. Attached is my gstat input file and a file with the 
gstat error I get from within my GRASS6.1 session. I'm getting:

WARNING: Vector used instead of sites.

I know that the R sp package will read GRASS vector location data and I 
could go that route if need be, but then there is the issue of getting 
the grids generated through kriging back into GRASS, which (I think) is 
more tedious.

Regards,
Tom
