If I remember correctly, the installation from source was quite easy:
apart from the usual compilers, you need gdal installed, which installs
easily via homebrew [1]. After this, installation of rgdal from source
worked without any additional configurations?
No, not really.
1) for a portable package you will need static GDAL.
2) GDAL can make use of a wide range of external software to read raster
files: without quite a lot of the optional ones it is not much use for
rgdal and other R packages. Simon needs to build that for Mavericks,
and statically too.
However, Fellows has ignored all the advice to use the Snow Leopard
package of R 3.1.0 if he wants rgdal. That is in the current manual
(http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-OS-X)
and was posted to this list recently
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2014-April/010835.html). That
is by far the easiest solution.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if there are plans to have rgdal compile correctly on
the CRAN Mavericks machine? I’ve really been enjoying the binaries
that have been available as building from source is a non-trival
hassle.

Best,
Ian
