[GRASS-user] R and GRASS-windows (readRAST6 problem, installation)

[Roger Bivand]

For questions of this kind, please use the statgrass list.

When you repeat your question on that list, please include sessionInfo()
with all information including your locale, and full GRASS details, that is
what GRASS version, how installed (there are many different variants, which
version of the standalone installer), how used (Rterm.exe, Rgui.exe, ...),
from which terminal R was started, and verbatim output of gmeta6().

Using spaces in path variables is never a good idea anyway, but it might be
possible to add an extra layer of protection. Without knowing your exact
system specifications will however make your report difficult to reproduce.
