rgdal installation problem

Hi,?

Could you - or any other mac users who've been successful installing rgdal - 
elaborate how you did it??

I'm trying to install rgdal in my iMac (os X 10.6.7). I have latest Mac R 
app. version 2.13.0?
I downloaded the?GDAL framework 1.8 and its dependencies from the kyngchaos 
site -- under the GDAL section of the page:?

http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks


But not sure the that the installation has put it in the right configuration, 
path for loading into R.

In R, I installed and loaded library 'sp' ?which rgdal needs..

Then tried to install the GDAL package - I go to the R Package 
Installer,?select 'Local Binary Package' from the popup, then click 
'Install...'.?
I was able to locate and select the rgdal tarball to install and load it for 
use in R, but?get error message:
1: 'tar' returned non-zero exit code 1 2: In file.rename(file.path(tmpDir, 
pkgname), instPath) :
cannot rename file 
'/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/file3af03e3f/GDAL' to 
'/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/GDAL', reason 'No such file or 
directory'
3: unable to move temporary installation 
'/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/file3af03e3f/GDAL' to 
'/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/GDAL' 
Is it because GDAL is not in the right place? Thanks v much if anyone can 
anyone help!

Hi,


I'm trying to instal library rgdal in my macbook (os X 10.6.7).


I have installed the latest R package (R-2.13.0.pkg).


I have gdal 1.8 install. Also, I have loaded library sp which rgdal needs.


I downloaded rdgal_06-33.tgz and using R Package installer, I located and
installed the Local Binary Package.


When trying to load rgdal ( >library(rgdal)in the R prompt) I get the
error:


-----

Error : onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rgdal', details:

call: fun(..)

error:

GDAL Error 1: dlopen(/Library/Application

Any help will be much appreciated.
