At a guess your error message was slightly longer than you have posted below - which only says that the install failed. 

The more information you provide the better your chances of help...

Hi,

I am a begginner using R in Linux system and I am doing some spatial
research. Recently, I tried to install "rgdal" package in Linux system but
I got the error message "installation of package 'rgdal' had non-zero exit
status".
It is impossible I can update the version of R because it is our
department system. Therefore, I wonder if there is any other ways to
install package.
Can you help me to deal with this problem? Thank you in advance.

Yung-wei,

If you read through this, it is one of the more instructive error messages you are likely to receive, so I would suggest that you work through the steps it suggests. 

My guess is that if you are on a shared machine, the gdal libraries are not installed, and you will have to speak to your administrators about installing them.
./configure: line 2013: gdal-config: command not found
Error: gdal-config not found
The gdal-config script distributed with GDAL could not be found.
If you have not installed the GDAL libraries, you can
download the source from  http://www.gdal.org/
You may need to get help from admins to do this on a shared machine.
If you have installed the GDAL libraries, then make sure that
gdal-config is in your path. Try typing gdal-config at a
shell prompt and see if it runs. If not, use:
 --configure-args='--with-gdal-config=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config'
with appropriate values for your installation.
You will have to look at the help for install.packages for details on how to do this - watch out for the quoting.

cheers

Hi Yung-wei,

I had simislar Problems when first isntalling rgdal on my machine. It is 
due to missing (Linux-)Packages, that R needs to compile its bindings 
with gdal.
In my case ( on a Ubuntu System) the required packages where:  gdal-bin, 
libgdal1-dev, libproj-dev, build-essential. There might have been more 
or i had previously installed them. If you are on a different 
Distribution the names might be slightly different, but your Admin 
should be able to figure it out.

best,
Julian

This question has been asked here before. Which distribution are you using?

If you are using debian or ubuntu the admin should install
libgdal1-dev for building gdal. I also recommend installing r-base-dev
if it is not yet installed. It is needed for building most R packages

If the administrator is unreachable: try installing:
http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/FWTools-linux-2.0.6.tar.gz
and then run install.packages('rgdal',
configure.args=c(gdal='--with-gdal-config=~/FWTools-2.0.6/bin/gdal-config')
