I just tried the Packages>Install package(s).. menu item on my fresh R-2.4.0-patched and rgdal just shows up on the list of packages to install, so I am not sure what the problem is. Alternatively, you can download the Windows *.zip file from any CRAN repository and install it from your hard drive.
Hope this helps, Andy __________________________________ Andy Jaworski 518-1-01 Process Laboratory 3M Corporate Research Laboratory ----- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (651) 733-6092 Fax: (651) 736-3122 Dylan Beaudette <dylan.beaudette@ gmail.com> To Sent by: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc at.math.ethz.ch Subject [R] compiling rgdal package on 10/04/2006 05:46 windows / macos PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail.com Greetings: As I am not a windows user, I cannot try this: is it possible to install rgdal on windows without having to compile it from source ? Compilation on MacOS is within my abilities, however each time i try and install the rgdal package it dies complaining that it cannot find gdal-config --- which was recently installed with GRASS. I have updated my PATH environment variable, logged out, but R still cannot find the gdal-config program. any tips on getting the rgdal package up and running on MacOS or Windows would be greatly appreciated.
