[R-sig-Geo] Package 'gdalUtils' when using 'gdal_translate' on HDF files it gives error "no installation match"

[Francisco Zambrano]

Hi all,

I'm using the package gdalUtils to work with HDF (MODIS data), I've used
for a while without problems, but now (I believe after the update of gdal)
is giving me the following error when I use the function 'gdal_translate'
over HDF files. A time before this used to work fine.

Error in gdal_chooseInstallation(hasDrivers = of) :
  No installations match.


also,

gdal_chooseInstallation(hasDrivers=c("HDF4","HDF5"))Error in
gdal_chooseInstallation(hasDrivers = c("HDF4", "HDF5")) :
  No installations match.

The version and date for gdal are:

> getOption("gdalUtils_gdalPath")[[1]]$versionversion
"3.0.2" > getOption("gdalUtils_gdalPath")[[1]]$date        date
"2019-10-28"


Searching the HDF drivers I get:

> getOption("gdalUtils_gdalPath")[[1]]$drivers[grep('HDF',getOption("gdalUtils_gdalPath")[[1]]$drivers$format_name),]          format_code read write update virtualIO subdatasets  format_name
43  HDF4Image-raster- TRUE  TRUE   TRUE     FALSE       FALSE HDF4 Dataset
114 HDF5Image-raster- TRUE FALSE  FALSE      TRUE       FALSE HDF5 Dataset
