[R-sig-Geo] MODIS package's runGdal() returns error: dataFormat='GTiff', format not supported

[Alex Mandel]

What operating system?
When you upgraded QGIS did you also upgrade GDAL?
When you upgraded R, did you update your packages (or rebuild any packages)?

What do you get from the following command?
gdalDrivers()

Thanks,
Alex
