Thanks. PROJ_LIB now provides the link and when I load rgdal, the path to the 
PROJ.4 shared files is recognized. However, I still receive the warning: No 
proj_defs.dat in PROJ.4 shared files.

I edited my .bashrc  with PROJ_LIB=/p/bin/proj4/share/proj. This folder 
contains proj_defs.dat, as well as a duplicate file called proj_def.dat because 
I have seen the file named both ways.

I also changed PROJ_LIB to /p/bin/proj4/share and copied proj_defs.dat to that 
location. Still not sure how to get rgdal to recognize the prof_defs.dat file

No, not $PATH for anything other than executables. You may need a different 
path for the shared objects. For the PROJ shared files, set PROJ_LIB, which 
should be respected.
