Hi, I'm trying to install rgdal on a Scientific LInux cluster which I do not have administrator rights. So far, I have done the following * Downloaded and installed gdal from source into my home directory ie configured with ./configure --prefix=$HOME/R/gdal *Downloaded and install proj4 from source with a similar configuration ./configure --prefix=$HOME/R/proj4/
Next, I try to install the rgdal package specifying the various locations R CMD INSTALL rgdal_0.8-14.tar.gz --configure-args='--with-proj-lib=$HOME/R/proj4/lib --with-proj-include=$HOME/R/proj4/include --with-gdal-config=$HOME/R/gdal/bin/gdal-config' --preclean --no-clean-on-error This generally works up to the point where it tries to do a test load, giving the message: .... ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/zhome/39/c/38865/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/3.0/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so': libgdal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed If I check the contents of the shared object: ldd ~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/3.0/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff74dff000) libgdal.so.1 => not found libproj.so.0 => not found libR.so => not found libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f59fe330000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f59fe0ab000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f59fde95000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f59fdb01000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000039b3600000) So for some reason although the build process is recognising the libraries, it is not storing their location in the shared object. This is where my knowledge breaks down. I wonder if I need to force the build to make static libraries, rather than dynamically linked ones. But I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mark _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
