Help with RGDAL

Hi Charlie! Sorry to jump in here so late but I just gave this a try. I usually install rgdal from CRAN on windows or download the binary from http://www.kyngchaos.com for Mac. I wanted to try your method from building from source since the directions were so clear and understandable. This is the first time I have done this and I am not very terminal savvy. I ran the last command above and get this message: * installing to library ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library? * installing *source* package ?rgdal? ... gdal-config: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/unix/bin/gdal-config /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/config: line 143: make: command not found checking for gcc... no *SNIP* It seem to be looking for the C compiler among other things. Can you provide any help on this? Thanks in advance, Michael
Hi Micheal, It looks like the Configure script couldn't find the make command and the C complier-- this most likely means you haven't installed the "Developer Tools" from your OS X cd. This installation adds programs such as make and gcc to your system. Try opening the "Optional Installs" folder on the OS X cd and look for a installer that says "Xcode". Run that installer and you should have everything you need to build from source. Good luck! -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University
