[R] Error when sampling from SpatialLines

[Roger Bivand]

Which version of the sp package are you using? In a version that is submitted
to CRAN, and available for CVS checkout from the R-spatial sourceforge
repository, a weakness was addressed when a Line object received no sample
points, either because of its shortness, or because n is small for the total
length of points. I suggest that you try the latest version of sp from the
CVS repository.

PS. The traffic that you mention about sampling on lines was on the
R-sig-geo list, not this list, so a post there might have been a better
idea.

PPS. Always state package version numbers when reporting problems, for
example by giving sessionInfo() output. For errors, always also give the
output of traceback(), or al least its first lines, which may show where the
problem arises.
