R help - Jun 2009 - GeoXp package

Dear all,

I would like to use GeoXp package under Ubuntu Jaunty.
I did install the required package GeoXp, for which I had to install 
before rgdal package.
So when done, I want to load the library (library(GepXp), I got the 
error when GeoXP want to load rgdal package:

 > library(sp)
 > library(rgdal)
Error in fun(...) :
    GDAL Error 1: libgrass_I.so: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet 
partag?: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type  (sorry  for the french :) )

I check on my system and libgrass_I.so is located at 
/usr/lib/grass/lib/libgrass_I.so.
So how to specify the path of that file to allows rgdal loading ?

Regards

It would have been far more useful had you translated the error message to
english than to have apologized.

Try doing

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dir/where/so/is/located

before starting R from the shell.
