I am trying to install rgdal from source on CentOS 7.
I have installed geos, proj, and gdal successfully, they test fine.
This is with R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) -- "Holding the Windsock"
compiled with gcc/8.2.0.
This is an HPC system, and I have the following modules loaded,
Currently Loaded Modules:
1) gcc/8.2.0 3) image-libraries/190711.1 5) proj/6.2.1
2) R/3.6.3 4) geos/3.8.1 6) gdal/3.1.0
I get the output included below. In that output, it appears that the
configure correctly identifies the proj options needed from
pkg-config, repeated here
configure: pkg-config proj exists, will use it
configure: PROJ version: 6.2.1
configure: proj CPP flags: -DPROJ_H_API
-I/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/include
configure: PROJ LIBS: -L/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/lib -lproj
and
$ nm /sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/lib/libproj.so | grep
proj_context_create
00000000001ef4e0 T proj_context_create
seems to indicate that is truly there.
I unpacked the rgdal source tar ball and ran ./configure from its
directory and get the same error. Looking in the generated
config.log, I find
configure:3869: checking for proj_context_create in -lproj
configure:3894: gcc -o conftest -O3 -mtune=native -I/usr/local/include
-DPROJ_H_API -I/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/include
-L/usr/local/lib64 conftest.c -lproj
-L/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/gdal/3.1.0/lib -lgdal >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lproj
and from that, it appears that configure is not including the correct
CFLAGS to include proj. It is, instead, putting in
-L/usr/local/lib64, and that is not where the proj libraries are.
Extracting the confdefs.h and conftest.c file from config.log and
running the test compilation command modified by hand to include the
correct library directory for proj,
$ gcc -o conftest -O3 -mtune=native -I/usr/local/include -DPROJ_H_API
-I/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/include
-L/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/lib conftest.c -lproj
-L/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/gdal/3.1.0/lib -lgdal
$ echo $?
0
So, I believe there is an error in configure.ac, or in the included
configure script that is not properly registering the library path for
proj. Note, also, that I get the same result if using
$ ./configure --with-proj-include=/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/include
\
--with-proj-lib=/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/lib \
--with-proj-share=/sw/arcts/centos7/gcc_8_2_0/proj/6.2.1/share/proj
. . . .
configure: error: proj_context_create not found in libproj.
Might anyone know what needs to be done to fix this?
Thanks, -- bennet
