问题

I am currently running some species distribution modelling and richness mapping in R on a linux cluster. In order to run my analyses I need to install rgdal so that the raster function in my modelling package works correctly. I have installed proj4 and gdal already. However when I attempt to install rgdal I get an error message:

checking for gdal-config... no
no

configure: error: gdal-config not found or not executable.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgdal'

This is the command I used to install rgdal package:

install.packages("rgdal", configure.args=c("--with-proj-include=/home/nikhail1/bin/proj-4.9.2/bin", "--with-proj-lib=/home/nikhail1/bin/proj-4.9,2/lib"))

However despite the gdal-config error, gdal seems to be installed onto my local system (the binary and library folders are present in the address to which I installed them). I also did not see any error messages during the gdal installation process. Why is this error occurring? How do I get R to recognize that this dependency is installed, or indeed if there is a problem how do I identify it? Most of the solutions I have found online are specific to Debian and Ubuntu systems which I am not using. I do not have authority to use sudo apt-get or yum commands. Are there any dependencies of gdal I am missing, as I have only installed proj 4.9.2?

I am new to the linux system, and the rgdal and gdal packages.

Thank you very much for you assistance

Kind Regards,

Nikhail

Installing RGDAL in R on Linux

Run this command in R:

# install package from CRAN
# but specify the library director
# the download method
# and the configuration arguments
# to allow for source installs
install.packages( pkgs = "rgdal"
                    , lib = "./R_Packages"
                    , method = "curl"
                    , configure.args = c(
                                   "--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/gdal-config"
                                   , "--with-proj-include=/p/home/bin/proj4/include"
                                   , "--with-proj-lib=/p/home/bin/proj4/lib"
                                     ) 
      )
