rgdal package installation

by

I f you look at the package page on CRAN, you will see the following :

SystemRequirements: for building from source: GDAL >= 1.7.1 library
from http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource and PROJ.4 (proj >= 4.4.9) from http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/; GDAL OSX frameworks built by William Kyngesburye at http://www.kyngchaos.com/ may be used for
source installs on OSX.

As you seem to be under Linux, you always build package from source, so you will have to install the corresponding libraries on your system. If you are under Mint, Ubuntu or another Debian derivative, you can do :

$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev libproj-dev

One tip that can be useful, still under a Debian based system, is to install the apt-file package and run :

$ sudo apt-file update

Then, when you get an error such as :

configure: error: proj_api.h not found in standard or given locations.

You can use the following command to find which package you must install to get the missing file :

$ apt-file search proj_api.h
libproj-dev: /usr/include/proj_api.h
