rgdal package installation error
A late reply but I still give it since it might be of interest to people searching the archive: you should install not only libgdal, but also the package libgdal1-dev (this holds true whenever you need to compile against a library in debian/ubuntu: also install the associated -dev package). so: sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev That package contains the headers for building gdal and contains the unversioned (or partly unversioned) libgdal.so.1 which you need to build rgdal. In fact, if I understand it correctly, you might now have actually built gdal using the headers of the 1.7.2 version and linked against the 1.4.0 version - which may lead to errors at one or another point. Johan PS: In case you are looking for a more recent version of gdal, you could add the stable or unstable ppa repositories of ubuntugis: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis

Dear Thiago, Thanks! That did the trick. I poked around the /usr/local/lib directory and I suspect the problem had something to do with libgdal.so.1, which I believe is a link to the gdal libraries(?). Once that link was created correctly (because of the installation of the GDAL libraries) it works ok. Thanks for your help. best, Siva Thiago Veloso wrote:

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling gdal (using sudo apt-get
install). I have also tried downloading the rgdal tar.gz file and installing
using R CMD INSTALL at the shell prompt. I still get the same error message
as above.
If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.
Thank you,
Siva
