[R-sig-Geo] Fwd: GDAL Error 1: PROJ: proj_create_from_database: cannot build geodeticCRS 4326

[Anna Mujal Colilles]

Hi,

I am a new R user trying to transform lat-lon data to utm. I've been doing
so in two different ways and both give me the same error. My machine is a
Linux Ubuntu 18.04 system.

The first way I wanted to transform them was:
sp <-
SpatialPoints(df[,c("longitude","latitude")],proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:4326
+proj=longlat
+ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs +towgs84=0,0,0 "))
sp2<-spTransform(sp, CRS("+proj=utm +zone=33 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs
+ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0"))

the second option was
sf_sample <- sf::st_as_sf(coord_sample, coords = c("longitude",
"latitude"), crs = 4326)

However, I keep having the same problem over and over again related to the
crs init 4326

Warning message:
In CPL_crs_from_input(x) :
  GDAL Error 1: PROJ: proj_create_from_database: cannot build geodeticCRS
4326: SQLite error on SELECT name, ellipsoid_auth_name, ellipsoid_code,
prime_meridian_auth_name, prime_meridian_code, area_of_use_auth_name,
area_of_use_code, publication_date, deprecated FROM geodetic_datum WHERE
auth_name = ? AND code = ?: no such column: publication_date

can anyone help me please?

Thank you,

Anna
