[R-sig-Geo] rgdal installation problem

[Robin W Hunnewell]

Hi, 

Could you - or any other mac users who've been successful installing rgdal - elaborate how you did it? 

I'm trying to install rgdal in my iMac (os X 10.6.7). I have latest Mac R app. version 2.13.0 
I downloaded the GDAL framework 1.8 and its dependencies from the kyngchaos site -- under the GDAL section of the page: 

http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks


But not sure the that the installation has put it in the right configuration, path for loading into R.

In R, I installed and loaded library 'sp'  which rgdal needs..

Then tried to install the GDAL package - I go to the R Package Installer, select 'Local Binary Package' from the popup, then click 'Install...'. 
I was able to locate and select the rgdal tarball to install and load it for use in R, but get error message:
1: 'tar' returned non-zero exit code 1 
2: In file.rename(file.path(tmpDir, pkgname), instPath) :
  cannot rename file '/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/file3af03e3f/GDAL' to '/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/GDAL', reason 'No such file or directory'
3: unable to move temporary installation '/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/file3af03e3f/GDAL' to '/Users/robinhunnewell/Library/R/2.13/library/GDAL' 

Is it because GDAL is not in the right place? Thanks v much if anyone can anyone help!
Robin
