Sorry if this has been dealt with before, but I was unable to find any evidence in the mailing list archive search.
I am trying to build R and am running into errors with rgdal/GDAL/PROJ/EPSG on Ubnutu (which, I suspect, is my problem): checking PROJ.4: epsg found and readable... no Error: proj/epsg not found Either install missing proj support files, for example the proj-nad and proj-epsg RPMs on systems using RPMs, or if installed but not autodetected, set PROJ_LIB to the correct path, and if need be use the --with-proj-share= configure argument. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgdal’ (at easybuild/software/EasyBuild/2.6.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild_framework-2.6.0-py2.7.egg/easybuild/tools/run.py:397 in parse_cmd_output) My guess is that CentOS (and other distributions?) offer this dataset in the RPM mentioned above. The datasets exist in Ubuntu/Debian in the 'proj-data' package, which installs them to /usr/share/proj. Additionally, they are installed in EasyBuild PROJ-4.8.0-foss-2015b.eb into ...software/PROJ/4.8.0-foss-2015b/share/proj. But those locations do not seem to make it through the environment to R during the rgdal install. Is there a way I can have the modulefile for PROJ export an environment variable I can use to configure rgdal to find the PROJ data? The rgdal install is a traditional configure/make, but run in R as an RPackage install in EasyBuild. Ugh. Can I even pass in configure options to RPackge EasyBlock? rgdal configure will look in PROJ_LIB if that is set. Thanks!
