> install.packages("rgdal")
- installing source package ‘rgdal’ ... configure: error: gdal-config not found or not executable.
The packages libgdal-dev and libproj-dev are required:
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin proj-bin libgdal-dev libproj-dev
If you have docker you could try to leapfrog installing the system libraries altogether with this oneliner docker run -d --name geospatial -p 8787:8787 -v /home/me:/home/rstudio -e PASSWORD=rocker rocker/geospatial:3.6.3 && sleep 5 && firefox http://localhost:8787
which gets everything needed in an isolated environment which includes all dependencies needed.
If the command you used didn't work, and you don't want to "cheat" by using a container, the error messages you have might lead you in the right direction (try searching on the error message at SO or in another search engine). When I do dpkg -l | grep gdal
I have libgdal-dev listed, which I believe gave gdal-config
(I'm not on popOS but on an earlier Ubuntu base). The command apt-file search gdal-config
seems to agree that it should come in libgdal-dev
(but I'm on Ubuntu 18 base).
Thanks! It worked for me
Just bumping this in case @statgeek or anyone else managed to solve the problem when there's no sudo access?
Try this SO page https://askubuntu.com/questions/193695/installing-packages-into-local-directory it helped me.
Many thanks. It worked
Muito obrigado pela dica
Many thanks, that fixed it!
Hi, I used
> install.packages("rgdal", repos="https://cloud.r-project.org/")
worked like a charm
Didier
P.S.
the normal install gave (I had also tried another CRAN repo):
in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
download from 'https://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/CRAN/bin/macosx/contrib/4.1/rgdal_1.5-28.tgz' failed
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

2: In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, :

Thanks :)
Hello
I couldn't install RGDAL. Please help.
install.packages("rgdal", type = "source")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Hossein/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rgdal’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages
Yes, by now you need to use older R versions in order to use rgdal. Or use alternatives.
See here https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html
