[R] Help reinstalling rgdal (Ubuntu 16.04)

[MacQueen, Don]

There are quite a few messages on R-sig-geo about installing rgdal on Ubuntu. Maybe one of them contains your solution?
(I use Mac, so can't help directly)

    Hi all,
    
    Following some updates to R that I received via Synaptic Package
    Manager on Ubuntu 16.04 (looks like I now have R 3.4.4-1xenial0), I
    have been unable to reinstall rgdal, and I need help.
    
    Initially I was getting error messages about dependencies on GDAL
    1.11.4, but after following instructions to install GDAL from source
    (into my /usr/local directory) I'm now getting a different set of error
    messages (see the output error messages posted below my signature).  
    
    I can't tell if this means that I've made a mistake installing GDAL or
    if there's some other problem with my setup/configuration.  I really
    need rgdal for the analyses I do in R and could use some help figuring
    this out.
    
    Thanks,
    Alex
