rgdal installation problem

Thank you. ?sorry if this is basic; had just hoped to find a step-by-step 
guide for Idiots on how to install GDAL and rgdal on OSX.?

I downloaded?the comprehensive GDAL framework?provided by William 
Kyngesburye:

http://www.kyngchaos.com/

Help and 'read me' files say to install the GDAL?framework with dependencies 
first, then an rgdal binary from the same?site.
But I'm not sure how to compile and configure GDAL the right way - so that it 
gets to the R library and can then be located.
I'm sure it's just a basic step, but?for someone new to this it's a little 
confusing..
Thanks very much for the URL below, will try to work it through

Hi,?

Could you - or any other mac users who've been successful installing rgdal 

- 

elaborate how you did it??

Usually, OSX users say setRepositories(ind=1:2) to install from CRAN and 
CRAN extras, where OSX binaries for R 2.13 are provided by Prof. Brian 
Ripley. The direct URL is:

http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/

This has static GDAL and standard drivers. Kyngchaos now also has an R 
2.13 binary, which depends on the frameworks also provided there - it was 
added recently at user request, and provides a larger number of drivers.

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
Support/GDAL/1.8/PlugIns/gdal_GRASS.dylib, 1): Library not loaded:
/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libgrass_gis.dylib

Referenced from: /Library/Application
Support/GDAL/1.8/PlugIns/gdal_GRASSdylib

Reason: image not found


Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rgdal'

Any help will be much appreciated.

thanks,
