[R] compiling rgdal package on windows / macos

[Dylan Beaudette]

Greetings:

As I am not a windows user, I cannot try this: is it possible to install rgdal 
on windows without having to compile it from source ?	

Compilation on MacOS is within my abilities, however each time i try and 
install the rgdal package it dies complaining that it cannot find 
gdal-config --- which was recently installed with GRASS. I have updated my 
PATH environment variable, logged out, but R still cannot find the 
gdal-config program.

any tips on getting the rgdal package up and running on MacOS or Windows would 
be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
