Re: [R] Installing RGDAL on CentOS v.6.2
Dear Eric, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't have NetBSD on the cluster and considering the size of my dataset, I can't utilise my local machine. Does it make a difference that the R installed on the cluster is up-to-date if I do want to compile everything from tar.gz? Thanks again.

Re: [R] Installing RGDAL on CentOS v.6.2
Dear Shouro, I should have mentioned that pkgsrc is cross-platform, and not restricted to the NetBSD OS. I use pkgsrc on my CentOS machines to provide up-to-date software. Since sysadmins tend to be conservative about what they will install on computers, I end up installing my own software into my own personal directory. I don't think that the version of R is indicative of whether proj4 and gdal will compile. IIRC, I had to install a number of dependencies to be able to build these from source. It might be worthwhile to see if your sysadmin will install gdal and proj4 from the CentOS distro. These will probably be quite old -- though they may be enough for your needs. Alternatively, there are some third-party repositories for up-to-date software for CentOS, including EPEL and ELGIS, the latter especially targeted toward geospatial modeling.
