[R-sig-Geo] RGDAL configure error in Centos

[Doug Niven]

Hi Folks,

Am seeing the following when trying to install RGDAL in fully up-to-date Centos 7 server.

Specifically I believe "proj_api.h and pkg-config give different versions” is the issue, but am unsure how to fix this.

Any tips/suggestions most appreciated!
