[R-sig-Geo] error in loading rgdal

[Edzer J. Pebesma]

My guess is a compiler incompatability: the error looks like a C++
name mangling issue, which might result from using two different
compilers (gcc versions?) for the two libraries. Can you find out
which ones were used?

I just installed gdal 1.2.6 from CVS, compiled to rgdal both
from CVS and from CRAN, no problems on debian unstable (gcc 3.3.6).
