Subject: Installing RGDAL on CentOS v.6.2
In-Reply-To: <CAMx+UYc-FsJxsBCBX8+nMrrKXV2qYZLP5yRPLn7WByf6ZPK3rA@mail.gmail.com> (Shouro Dasgupta's message of "Sat, 8 Aug 2015 22:59:35 +0200")
Dear Shouro,
I can confirm that I have installed GDAL (and RGDAL) on CentOS
6.4, 6.5,
and 6.6.
But quite frankly, these systems have such old versions of
software that
I spent a fair amount of time compiling everything up from tar.gz.
This is exhausting, so I spent some time learning NetBSD's
pkgsrc--and
now recommend this wonderful package manager to anyone caught in a
situation where they don't have root privileges, but need to bring
an
old CentOS to have modern versions of software and all its
dependencies.
Best regards,
Eric
