[R-sig-Geo] Pre-GDAL 2: rgdal changes

[Michael Sumner]

Magic! This is really good news, thanks so much.

But, I get this:

sudo R CMD INSTALL rgdal_0.6-28.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
* installing *source* package ‘rgdal’ ...
gdal-config: gdal-config
GDAL version 2.0.0 found ...
For building this version, at least GDAL version 1.3.1 is required.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgdal’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rgdal’

gdal-config --prefix
/usr/local
gdal-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -lgdal
gdal-config --dep-libs
-L/usr/lib -lnetcdf -lmfhdf -ldf -ljpeg -lz -lpthread -lm -lrt -ldl
gdal-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/include
gdal-config --datadir
/usr/local/share/gdal
gdal-config --version
2.0.0
gdal-config --ogr-enabled
yes
