Could an OSX user please reply with help on how to find GDAL? Could 
someone also comment on the viability of this OS version?

We have had user reports of success building rgdal from source on OSX, but 
I don't think the specific OS version(s) used are known - could OSX users 
please reply to this thread so that the list archives have a body of 
experience about this, please? The same applies to the way(s) in which 
GDAL and PROJ.4 were installed.
