Actually, more alternatives: 3. Suggested by Ralf Strasse: Install Xcode tools from Apple (is recommended anyway for many applications). This will install several compilers.Afterwards installing from source should work fine. http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/xcode.html And also select on CRAN under Mac OS X installation "Tools" and installe gfortran (and the other two - you may need them another time). install.packages("rgdal", configure.args='--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.Framework/Unix/bin/gdal-config --with-proj-include=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/include-with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib/',dependencies=TRUE, type="source")
4. Downloading binary from kyngchaos http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks?s[]=rgdal and installing with install.packages("~/Downloads/rgdal-0.6.29-1.zip") (I'm guessing the directory, is this the downloading directory by default in Macs?) Any advice on which one is the best alternative?
