(The R-sig-geo mailing list may be a more appropriate place to look for an answer) Unfortunately, I as maintainer of the package have no access to OSX. I do know that OSX users have installed rgdal successfully, and installation instructions are on the Rgeo website: http://www.sal.uiuc.edu/tools/tools-sum/rgeo/rgeo-detail/map-packages-on-cran "OSX: The rgdal source package from CRAN can be installed on OSX by first installing PROJ.4 and GDAL, then installing sp, and finally download the source package tarball to a suitable temporary location, and install with R CMD INSTALL ... your options ... rgdal*.tar.gz. Your options give the locations, if required, of --with-gdal-config=, --with-proj-include=, and/or --with-proj-lib=, all within --configure-args='' as described in section 1.2.2 of the ''Writing R extensions'' manual." But this presupposes that you can find the installed software on your system yourself, something that is difficult to do at a distance. If OSX has the locate utility, you could run it in a terminal, or search for the files needed (in Finder??), but an OSX user would know the correct way forward. I expect that you have installed PROJ.4 too - do either of proj -lp or gdalinfo --formats or ogrinfo --formats at a terminal prompt say anything useful to indicate that the applications using the libraries are available and working? > > trying URL > 'http://www.biometrics.mtu.edu/CRAN/src/contrib/rgdal_0.4-10.tar.gz' > Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 4009531 bytes > opened URL > ================================================== > downloaded 3915Kb > > * Installing *source* package 'rgdal' ... > gdal-config: gdal-config > ./configure: line 1: gdal-config: command 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/ > If you have installed the GDAL libraries, then make sure that > gdal-config is in your path.
