Deal all, I am moving from Windows XP to Ubuntu and hopefully work on the two plateform and more an more on Linux (an old dream). Thus I am a newby in Linux. I have installed R 2.4 (note that the R-cran repository must be added manually to the synaptic package manager - if not one get R 2.3 from universe).
gdal 1.3.1 has been installed via the synaptic package manager (thus most likely well). The trouble comes installing the package rgdal. I get this message: The gdal-config script distributed with GDAL could not be found. If you have not installed the GDAL libraries, you can download the source from http://www.gdal.org/ If you have installed the GDAL libraries, then make sure that gdal-config is in your path. Try typing gdal-config at a shell prompt and see if it runs. If not, use: --configure-args='--with-gdal-config=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config' echo with appropriate values for your installation. ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgdal' ** Removing '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rgdal' typing gdal-confing at a shell prompt does not run indeed, but I don't have the lesser idea of what the next line advised to be used means: --configure-args='--with-gdal-config=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config' echo For instance, I have tried locate gdal-config to find were the directory or file mentioned may be found... useless. I have googled a bit through mailing lists where this question is sometime raised, but did not find helpful answers. Any hint?
