[R-sig-Geo] Problem installing rgeos

[chris english]

Scott,

You're build is failing pretty early in the configuration process which
suggests you are missing some tools in your development environment.  The
latest geos was found. Was that a binary or built from source?  If from
source you have the necessary tools in your dev environment and it may
merely be a function of dropping the depends in you install.packages
call....

This just now on my box:

This configuraton built and installed correctly. When my configurations
choke, I try to track down a working configuration like that above, check
my environment to see if I have everything that is going to be asked for.
If I don't have it I find out which package provides it and install the
developer version of the package so I have the headers and eventually I
have a successful build.

HTH,
Chris
