st_read example in the sf vignette

[Nowosad]

I've got an error when I tired to replicate results from the sf vignette:

library('sf')
u_kmz <- "http://coagisweb.cabq.gov/datadownload/BikePaths.kmz"
download.file(u_kmz, "BikePaths.kmz")
biketrails_kmz <- st_read("BikePaths.kmz")

Cannot open data source BikePaths.kmz
Error in eval(substitute(expr), envir, enclos) : Open failed. 

(based on today's version of the sf package from github)

Works for me; please check whether "LIBKML" %in% st_drivers()$name is TRUE for your system.

Yes, probably that's the problem:

"LIBKML" %in% st_drivers()$name
[1] FALSE
