A Practical Guide to Geostatistical Mapping

Thanks for the very nice examples in meuse.R and the comparisons between gstat and SAGA.

In meuse.R at line 429 I am getting an error when executing the following code:

zinc.rk2 <- krige.conv(zinc.geo, locations=locs, krige=KC, borders=mask.bor)

> str(zinc.geo)

Is this a known error?

I am running R-2.11.1 on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (amd64) with newest R packages available.
