I previously sent a cri de coeur about this problem to the r-help list
but so far have not managed to extract a solution. So I am trying here.
(Uh, Ubuntu *is* a "special instance" of Debian, isn't it?)
The problem is that I cannot install rgdal, and I need it. Rather
desperately.
I do:
install.packages("rgdal",lib="/home/rolf/Rlib")
and get the error message:
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/home/rolf/Rlib/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so':
/home/rolf/Rlib/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so: undefined symbol: CPLQuietErrorHandler
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
I have installed libgdal-dev and (later, prompted by an email from Prof.
John Nash) libgdal1-dev. I also have installed libproj-dev,
as instructed by one site that I found by googling around.
No joy.
I have also gone to the Ubuntu Launchpad site and looked at the material
there, but could not make any sense of it nor was I able to discern how
to make use of that material.
I also tried installing gdal-bin as suggested by one site that I looked
at; no help.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers,
Rolf Turner
