Problems with installing rgdal on Ubuntu "checking gdal: linking with --libs only... no"

Hi Roger,

Thanks for this. I was looking at this post by Robin 
(https://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-rgdal-in-ubuntu-13-04/) and I 
followed all steps but I still get the same results. Should I remove all 
packages connected with GDAL and then start with installing from 
scratch? How do I find double installations / broken links? I've tested 
gdal utils from command line and everything works fine BTW.

Here is what I get when I check when I look for gdal on my server:

$ sudo apt-cache pkgnames|grep -i gdal
libgdal1i
libgdal-java
libgdal1-1.11.3-grass
libgdal1-dev
libgdal-dev
libgdal-doc
libgdal-perl
gdal-bin
python3-gdal
python-gdal
dans-gdal-scripts

Thank you
