I had a simlar problem, and this is when I started (as Roger Bivand
suggested to me) to install gdal from source and use this one as a
gdal installation for rgdal - then it worked.

If you install gdal in your home directory, you *can* leave the
systemwide from repo installed, as several problems rely on it, but
you have to set PATH and point rgdal to the installation of gdal in
the home directory.

Other option: use checkinstall to create a package of gdal and install
it systemwide (haven't done this yet, just thought about it...).

Cheers,

Rainer
