Dear Simon 

Unfortunately, the problems reported are real. The rgdal version from CRAN fails to recognise images in JPEG2000 format used by Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite. I have investigated the matter carefully with Roger Bivand. 

I tried many combinations on Mac OS Big Sur: 
(a) rgdal from CRAN (binary) + GDAL from homebrew.
(b) rgdal from CRAN (source) + GDAL from homebrew.
(c) rgdal from CRAN (binary) + GDAL Mac OS Frameworks from https://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks/
(d) rgdal from CRAN (source) + GDAL from kyngchaos. 
(e) rgdal from CRAN (source) + GDAL/GEOS/etc (source) with Apple clang 11.0
(f) rgdal from CRAN (source) + GDAL/GEOS/etc (source) with Apple clang 12.0

Only option (f) works correctly. 

Best regards
Gilberto

I'm not sure which issue you are trying to solve. For gdal et al - make sure you install the latest version for CRAN - it is compatible with BigSur, older versions (before BigSur) were not.

Also please only answer if your have anything useful to say - if someone asks a question about the GUI it's rather pointless to post when you say you don't use it ... And if you ask a question, please be specific so we can help.
