[R] Problem installing package "sp" in R 2.13.0

[Roger Bivand]

The rgdal package is not a dependency of sp, only suggested. In addition, you
are trying to install source packages, but should (probably) be installing
binaries, with type="mac.binary.leopard" the most likely. If you need the
OSX rgdal binary, make sure that CRAN extras is on your repository path -
see ?setRepositories, for example by 
setRepositories(ind=1:2). If you really want to install source packages
under OSX, be sure to read up on this on 

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/

looking for the FAQ, and links to tools. If you can manage with binary
packages, stay with them.
