R help - Aug 2015 - Installing RGDAL on CentOS v.6.2

Dear all,

I have access to an IBM IDataplex Cluster with CentOS v.6.2. R 3.2.1 is
currently installed. I was wondering if there was any way to install RGDAL
on it? Thanks!

Sincerely,

Shouro

Dear Shouro,

I can confirm that I have installed GDAL (and RGDAL) on CentOS 
6.4, 6.5,
and 6.6.

But quite frankly, these systems have such old versions of 
software that
I spent a fair amount of time compiling everything up from tar.gz.

This is exhausting, so I spent some time learning NetBSD's 
pkgsrc--and
now recommend this wonderful package manager to anyone caught in a
situation where they don't have root privileges, but need to bring 
an
old CentOS to have modern versions of software and all its 
dependencies.

Best regards,
Eric

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't have NetBSD on the cluster
and considering the size of my dataset, I can't utilise my local machine.

Does it make a difference that the R installed on the cluster is up-to-date
if I do want to compile everything from tar.gz? Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Shouro
