Hi, I'm working on submitting an update to an existing R package to CRAN. I've tested it with R CMD check --as-cran and it passes with no errors, warnings or notes. But there is an error currently on the check results page for the current version, which you can see here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_envirem.html The error is only for the r-release-osx-x86_64 platform, where the problem is "Package suggested but not available for checking: ?rgdal?". I'm not sure what the problem is, as rgdal is a package on CRAN, and I can't seem to reproduce this problem on the different platforms that I have run R CMD check on, which as mac osx, ubuntu and win-builder. I imagine that the same problem will crop up with the updated version of the package. I've googled the error message, and it looks like there are many R packages with the same issue. Any suggestions for how to deal with this would be great. I could rewrite parts of my R package to avoid the use of rgdal in the examples, but that's working around the problem rather than addressing it. thanks! -Pascal
[R-pkg-devel] rgdal not available for checking

Hi Pascal, I would not worry about that. This probably simply means that rgdal is not installed on the computer used to check the package. Since gdal is often somewhat difficult to install, I am not going to blame CRAN. ++ Alex
