Why I can't install RGDAL after R 2.12.0 release?

well, That didnt work.

I upgraded to  R 2.12  and sure enough GDAL is broken.  I downloaded the
latest framework
from KngChaos and did a standard install.

I tried the code provided here and Got the following

install.packages("rgdal",

configure.args='--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.Framework/Unix/bin/gdal-config
--with-proj-include=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/include-with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib/',dependencies=TRUE,
type="source")

If the PROJ.4 library is installed in a non-standard location,
use --configure-args='--with-proj-include=/opt/local/include'
for example, replacing /opt/local/* with appropriate values
for your installation. If PROJ.4 is not installed, install it.

Hello,

don`t know if this issue is already fixed given that Roger posted an
answer.
However, I just installed from source with the command:

install.packages("rgdal",
configure.args='--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.Framework/Unix/bin/gdal-config
--with-proj-include=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/include-with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib/',dependencies=TRUE,
type="source")

R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)

The frameworks provided on Kyngchaos do not work for me under 2.12.

Regards,
Ralf
