I compiled and installed PROJ.4 under /usr/local. After this, the 
installation with R CMD worked smoothly. Surprisingly, there was no need 
to reinstall GDAL (installed with Fink). Apparently there is somewhere a 
hardcoded path (this is my interpretation), ignoring the flags.

Thanks for your help.
