Error to load rgdal

$ ls /usr/lib/R/library/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so
/usr/lib/R/library/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so*

It is happy to give me some advice.

what is the output of running

`ldd /usr/lib/R/library/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so`  ?


that may provide some further hints.  based on the error, you are probably 
missing a library dependency.
