Hello thank you Brian. Yes, you are right, I should have looked in the help files first. Anyway, I installed rgdal on my mac using:
> 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", repos = NULL) and the library loaded! So all good! Thanks again, Raphael.
