Gilberto,

can you provide details, please? (code, file to test etc.) The claim was that this is specific to BigSur which I doubt from your description. Please start a new thread about that at it seem entirely unrelated to the discussion at hand. There was an incompatibility with BigSur, but that was addressed.

Thanks,
Simon

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.
