[R-sig-Geo] package raster stack function do not work

[Rafael Wüest]

You might need the right combination of R, GDAL, rgdal and tell R how to install properly.

The following may help. I want to state that I neither now the author of www.kyngchaos.com and its packages, nor do I anyhow profit from mentioning the website. It just helps me get R and GDAL running smoothly on my Mac...

1) install R version 2.13.2

2) install "GDAL complete" from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks

3) download and unzip rgdal which matches with the R version your http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks

4) open shell, goto folder where you have unzipped rgdal:

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.8/Programs/gdal-config --with-proj-include=/opt/local/include --with-proj-lib=/opt/local/lib' rgdal

This works for me...
