Warning: Mac OSX rgdal CRAN binary: proj gdal shared files missing
Thanks to Simon Urbanek, the problem is now resolved with the February 3 build of rgdal 1.2-5. If you have the December 17 OSX build, you should re-install rgdal to get the fixed build. Roger

If you are using the Mac OSX rgdal CRAN binary, be warned that 1.2-5 is missing two directories containing projection metadata, including datum shift files and proj_defs.dat. The two directories were omitted from the CRAN binary build of 17 December 2016. The resolution is given in: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2017-January/025350.html and reads: Please see if you can download the equivalent Windows binary package: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/rgdal_1.2-5.zip unzip it (do not install it), and copy the proj/ and gdal/ folders with their contents to the folder shown (in R) by: system.file("", package="rgdal") For rgdal queries, always state verbatim the output of sessionInfo() and the output of the startup messages shown when rgdal is loaded and attached.
