[R] Problem installing rgdal.

[ProfJCNash]

Can you build/install the source package? I had a problem once where my libraries were "too recent" for the R package,
but I could build against my installed base. In any event, it may point out the source of the problem.

I can appreciate your frustration -- been there, but wish I hadn't.

Best, JN
