installing rgdal when gdal is in a non-standard location

Hello!

I'm trying to install rgdal and I have already installed gdal.  gdal is in a non-standard location, since I don't have administrative rights on this system.

I've seen how to use the configure.args with proj, but don't see anything for gdal.

Sorry for the dumb question!

Thanks,
Erin

You'll need something like:

--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

(these values were for OSX some time ago, but the three values should be 
enough). For GDAL, the path to gdal-config is all that is needed. This is 
from system.file("README", package="rgdal"), but as you don't have rgdal 
installed, it's harder to find.

Hope this helps,

Roger
