Problem installing rgdal on 64 bit fedora
Pending additional testing of rgdal it seems that I did get rgdal and its dependencies (gdal, proj) installed. If anyone else has problems installing this software I suggest you try installing proj and gdal from source (I never did get a yum-based install to work) making use of the instructions and troubleshooting advice at this link (except try substituting the most recent versions of the packages for the versions listed there): http://geodjango.org/docs/install.html This next link also might be helpful although it was primarily the prior link that I used: http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/showthread.php?t=21409 The manual actions that I took are likely system specific but in my case they included the following: - set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as suggested in the first link above (prior to building gdal from source) - gdal-config --version was not giving me the same version as the version of gdal I had installed from source so I copied the gdal-config that I had built over the old one (after I had built gdal) and then after the copy rebuilt gdal again to be sure.

I was not having much luck with yum and tried installing gdal from source after trying the same with proj but am getting this message: /root/gdal-1.6.2/libgdal.la: file not recognized: File format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [rgdal.so] Error 1 I am on 64 bit fc8 and the file /root/gdal-1.6.2/libgdal.la is present. ?Has anyone seen this when trying to install gdal?

Actually I tried building proj-4.6.1 from source after my attempt with yum failed to get rgdal going but that wasn't sufficient to pull in everything needed it seems. Can you give me a link to the proj-epsg source so I can try that? Googling for proj-epsg did not give me an obvious hit. Thanks (and to Laura).

If you use: # yum search proj You should find proj, proj-devel, proj-epsg and proj-nad. At least it is what yum just found from my computer now. I had some problems earlier today to access fedora repository. What if you change repository?
Yes, there may be transient problems. From my RHEL box I don't see it now with yum search, but from F11, I do, but only for i586 (which is right for the machine). For some murky reason, the packagers left the shared metadata out of regular proj, and have it in proj-nad and proj-epsg. I got round this earlier by shipping rgdal with the shared metadata files, but they could be staler than those otherwise on the user's platform, so at user request (for OSX among others), dropped the bundled files. I can see: http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/11/x86_64/proj-epsg-4.6.1-2.fc11.x86_64.html but since I build from source, can't vouch for it. Roger

I am getting this message when I try to install rgdal in R:
Error: proj/epsg not found
Either install missing proj support files, for example
the proj-nad and proj-epsg RPMs on systems using RPMs,
or if installed but not autodetected, set PROJ_LIB to the
correct path.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgdal'
I had previously installed gdal and proj.4 and proj-had using yum
(and I also tried from source). ?From the shell these all seem to
work in that they return something rather than a message that
they are missing:
proj
man proj
gdal-config
However, when I issue the R command
?install.packages("rgdal", dep = TRUE)
I get a message back (below) that refers to proj-epsg as missing but
I see no such distribution:
$ yum search proj-epsg
No Matches found
What is proj-epsg, where is it and how do I get around this?
