Where from?  Not CRAN.

This is better discussed on R-sig-geo, but I suspect that either you 
have a local GDAL installation and local settings (in which case you 
probably need to build rgdal from source to match ) or you got 
rdgal_0.6-33.tgz from someone who has.  (Mine on CRANxtras is entirely 
static and I have no such directory on my system.)
