[R] Resolving installed package updates warning

[MacQueen, Don]

Rich,

C++11 is a programming language.

Interestingly, someone else asked for help yesterday with exactly the same error message for rgdal. The subject line was

  "Help reinstalling rgdal (Ubuntu 16.04)"

The suggestions were to visit the mailing lists R-sig-geo and/or R-sig-debian.

It's puzzling to me that the output first says
   configure: C++11 support available
and then later says
  /usr/include/cpl_port.h:187:6: error: #error Must have C++11 or newer.

Maybe the C+11 on the system needs to be a newer version...but this level is pretty much over my head.

I wouldn't even look at the other error messages until that one has been solved.

-Don

    Don,
    
       rgdal was supposed to be installed, but you have a valid point.

       Boy howdy! This is interesting:
