Hi,

I am trying to install the rgdal package on R that runs under Ubuntu 12.04.
Everything goes smooth until this happen:
...
installing to /home/rosa/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14/rgdal/libs
** R
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
*** tangling vignette sources ...
   ‘OGR_shape_encoding.Rnw’ using ‘UTF-8’
** testing if installed package can be loaded

 *** caught illegal operation ***
address 0xb6001b34, cause 'illegal operand'

Traceback:
 1: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
 2: library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib)
 3: loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc))
 4: doTryCatch(return(expr), name, parentenv, handler)
 5: tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1L]])
 6: tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
...

Illegal instruction (core dumped)
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/home/rosa/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14/rgdal’

The downloaded packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpwQ513H/downloaded_packages’
Warning message:
In install.packages("rgdal") :
  installation of package ‘rgdal’ had non-zero exit status

What is possibly the cause of this fail?

Thank you, in advance
