(from your nabble footer, it was:

My advice then was as you can read.

For all systems installing rgdal from source, it is recommended that you 
consider not installing binary external dependencies, but installing them 
from source. All of the Linux GIS packages, be it Debian or RPM, have 
had numerous reported problems. So far, all installation problems on such 
systems have turned out to be problems in the external dependencies of 
rgdal, often multiple installs of GDAL (with the library pointed to by 
gdal-config not being the first such in the search path), or similar.

So this is work for you, nobody else. Using binary packages has advantages 
and disadvantages, you've hit a disadvantage, that "dependency hell" has 
said "hello".
