[R-sig-Geo] rgdal install fails (following GDAL building from source)

[Pierre Roudier]

I finally got the problem: there was a mistake within my
/etc/ld.so.conf.d file that linked the libgdal library into the
system.

For the record, my mistake was to put the full path to the file plus
the filename:

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gdal.conf
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1

I resolved the problem simply by modifying /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gdal.conf
to /usr/local/lib, and ldconfig as su.
