I didn't follow the thread closely, but these types of errors can mean version conflicts, i.e. that you have either two versions of gdal installed and the installer picks up the wrong version or a mix of versions or that you have the wrong version installed. Check you gdal installations (from source, package manager, whatever there is), uninstall gdal completely and search thoroughly if there are any leftovers (apt-get purge ...). Then I would logout and login again - just to be sure that all caches are up to date (although I doubt this is necessary). Than I would check if there are any stray installations or rgdal sitting in any library. Than I would install all ubuntu packages neeed for gdal (from the CRAN for rgdal: "for building from source: GDAL >= 1.6.3, library from http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource and PROJ.4 (proj >= 4.4.9) from http://download.osgeo.org/proj/";), make sure that they are working from the commandline, and that try again installing the version of rgdal. And if not, there is r-sig-spatial which is a much better place to ask rgdal related questions than r-help. Hope this helps, Rainer > > cheers, > > Rolf -- Rainer M.
