rgdal install fails (following GDAL building from source)

Here are the outputs of  locate libgdal and locate gdalplugins (as su):

# locate gdalplugins
(no files found, as I deleted the whole folder)

# locate libgdal
...some files in my home from the src package...
/usr/lib64/ogdi/libgdal.so
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.a
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.la
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1.14.2

# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libgdal*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 65383080 Jul 19 17:42 /usr/local/lib/libgdal.a
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root     1038 Jul 19 17:42 /usr/local/lib/libgdal.la
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       17 Jul 19 17:42
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so -> libgdal.so.1.14.2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       17 Jul 19 17:42
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1 -> libgdal.so.1.14.2
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 29847891 Jul 19 17:42 /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1.14.2

The latter command is probably interesting - actually the libgdal.so.1
on my system is a symlink to /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1.14.2.
Unfortunately, I don't really understand the meaning of those
different libgdal*

I appreciate your valuable help Roger, and any hint on that is most
welcome. As the problem seems to relate more on GDAL than R, I'll
probably drop a line to the GDAL-dev mailing list.

Cheers,

Pierre
