Hi,
What I needed to do was :
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev libproj-dev
Mind you, I'm on Linux Mint Debian Edition, so Ubuntu may be completely
different. I'm not sure.
The trick seems to be searching for subsets of the package name; e.g.
$ apt-cache search gdal
dans-gdal-scripts - GDAL contributed tools by Geographic Information
Network of Alaska
gdal-bin - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Utility programs
libgdal-dev - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Development files
libgdal-doc - Documentation for the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
libgdal-perl - Perl bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
libgdal-ruby - Ruby bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
libgdal-ruby1.8 - Ruby 1.8 bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction
Library
libgdal1 - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
libgdal1-dev - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Development files
python-gdal - Python bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
libgdal1-1.9.0-grass - GRASS extension for the GDAL library
qlandkartegt - GPS mapping (GeoTiff and vector) and GPSr management
See what that returns for you and just keep installing likely candidates
until it works. That's what I do. It sometimes seems to be the ones
ending -dev (or similar) that are needed. Even though we aren't
"developing" such packages for R I suppose because we need to install
from source on Linux, in a sense we are.
I seem to remember that package needs libproj-dev as well, which is why
I included it above. May be wrong on that.
What beats me is why the Linux package dependencies aren't included in
the package DESCRIPTION file. I guess that's because they're different
names on each distro (again, something else that puzzles me)? So then I
wonder why not include dependencies for the common distros like Ubuntu
and Debian derivatives: that'd be a start.
Still, much better than Windows.

Hi
I am trying to install the rgdal package through r-cran-rgdal (I had
added the ppa), and run into an error in Ubuntu 12.04:
r-cran-rgdal : Dépend: libgdal1 (>= 1.9.0) mais il n'est pas installable
in English, libgdal1 1.9 does not seem available in Ubuntu 12.04 (I
think version 1.7) comes.
And indeed, a:
$sudo apt-get install libgdal1
Gives also an error message, saying libgdal1 not available, but
suggesting libgdal1h, although installing the latter does not solve
anything.
I looked into several forums, tried to install from several ppas, but
was not able to get it working. Would someone have an idea how to
install this unsatisfied dependency?
Thanks!
Matthieu
