[R-sig-Geo] Error in .gd_SetProject(transient, crs(r))

[Guillaume Drolet]

Hello,

This morning I updated RStudio to version 0.98.484, and Quantum GIS to
version 2.0.1 (Dufour) using the standalone installer.

After that, I tried to run some code in RStudio and I got the error message
below when running the following command:

> filename <- "test.tif"
> try(writeRaster(raster(matrix(1, 1, 1)), filename = filename, overwrite =
> overwrite))

Error in .gd_SetProject(transient, crs(r)) : 
  STRING_ELT() can only be applied to a 'character vector', not a 'logical'

Then, I updated rgdal to version 0.8-14 and now I get this error when
running the same code:

Error in .gd_SetProject(object, ...) : 
  STRING_ELT() can only be applied to a 'character vector', not a 'logical'

Until this morning, I never had any problem with that line of code above. I
suspect this could be due to the QGIS installation that could have messed
with my GDAL installation: is that possible (is GDAL used by rgdal at all)?
I tried uninstalling QGIS but I still get the same error message.
