[R] compiling rgdal package on windows / macos

[apjaworski at mmm.com]

I just tried the Packages>Install package(s)..  menu item on my fresh
R-2.4.0-patched and rgdal just shows up on the list of packages to install,
so I am not sure what the problem is.  Alternatively, you can download the
Windows *.zip file from any CRAN repository and install it from your hard
drive.

Hope this helps,

Andy

Greetings:

As I am not a windows user, I cannot try this: is it possible to install
rgdal
on windows without having to compile it from source ?

Compilation on MacOS is within my abilities, however each time i try and
install the rgdal package it dies complaining that it cannot find
gdal-config --- which was recently installed with GRASS. I have updated my
PATH environment variable, logged out, but R still cannot find the
gdal-config program.

any tips on getting the rgdal package up and running on MacOS or Windows
would
be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
