Shaun,

   How interesting. I did not see that notice on the SBo mail list and David
did not point me to it when I wrote him about the problem.

   Yes, gdal-2.2.4 supports the building of rgdal-1.3-4. The compatibilty
problem must be subtle as configure finds C++11 on my system yet does not
build the latest gdal or rgdal.

Thanks very much,

Rich
