Dear Thiago, Thanks! That did the trick.
I poked around the /usr/local/lib directory and I suspect the problem had something to do with libgdal.so.1, which I believe is a link to the gdal libraries(?). Once that link was created correctly (because of the installation of the GDAL libraries) it works ok.
Thanks for your help. best, Siva Thiago Veloso wrote:
Dear Siva, Installing GDAL libraries should do the trick. Search in Synaptic or download from this URL: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ro/hardy/libgdal1-1.4.0 Best regards, Thiago. --- On Thu, 8/7/10, Siva Sundaresan <neps...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Siva Sundaresan <neps...@gmail.com> Subject: [R-sig-Geo] rgdal package installation error To: r-sig-geo@stat.math.ethz.ch Date: Thursday, 8 July, 2010, 9:32 I am trying to install the rgdal package under Ubuntu 8.10 with have gdal 1.7.2 installed.
