OK - this was your test that the file existed. read.dbf("cities.dbf") might have been more helpful. To check that there is no "spaces in path names" problem here, I tried: > library(maptools) > getwd() [1] "/home/rsb/tmp/bigshape/R scripts" > list.files(pattern="shp$") [1] "co37_d90.shp" > getinfo.shape("co37_d90.shp") Shapefile type: Polygon, (5), # of Shapes: 104 > shp <- read.shape("co37_d90.shp") Shapefile type: Polygon, (5), # of Shapes: 104 admittedly on Linux and with an up-to-date package. I have also checked on Windows XP, also with current maptools and R 2.6.1, with the same result. Seeing your sessionInfo() would show both your platform and package version.
