[R-sig-Debian] r-cran-rgdal: dependency on libgdal1 unsatisfied in ubuntu 12.04?
Hi I am trying to install the rgdal package through r-cran-rgdal (I had added the ppa), and run into an error in Ubuntu 12.04: r-cran-rgdal : D?pend: libgdal1 (>= 1.9.0) mais il n'est pas installable in English, libgdal1 1.9 does not seem available in Ubuntu 12.04 (I think version 1.7) comes. And indeed, a: $sudo apt-get install libgdal1 Gives also an error message, saying libgdal1 not available, but suggesting libgdal1h, although installing the latter does not solve anything. I looked into several forums, tried to install from several ppas, but was not able to get it working. Would someone have an idea how to install this unsatisfied dependency? Thanks! Matthieu

Dirk PS Ubuntu 12.04 is ancient. I would upgrade, which I do every six months. In any there *is* a newer LTS for you in 14.04. -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org

[R-sig-Debian] r-cran-rgdal: dependency on libgdal1 unsatisfied in ubuntu 12.04?
Hi, What I needed to do was : sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev libproj-dev Mind you, I'm on Linux Mint Debian Edition, so Ubuntu may be completely different. I'm not sure. The trick seems to be searching for subsets of the package name; e.g. $ apt-cache search gdal dans-gdal-scripts - GDAL contributed tools by Geographic Information Network of Alaska gdal-bin - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Utility programs libgdal-dev - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Development files libgdal-doc - Documentation for the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library libgdal-perl - Perl bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library libgdal-ruby - Ruby bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library libgdal-ruby1.8 - Ruby 1.8 bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library libgdal1 - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library libgdal1-dev - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Development files python-gdal - Python bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library libgdal1-1.9.0-grass - GRASS extension for the GDAL library qlandkartegt - GPS mapping (GeoTiff and vector) and GPSr management See what that returns for you and just keep installing likely candidates until it works. That's what I do. It sometimes seems to be the ones ending -dev (or similar) that are needed. Even though we aren't "developing" such packages for R I suppose because we need to install from source on Linux, in a sense we are. I seem to remember that package needs libproj-dev as well, which is why I included it above. May be wrong on that. What beats me is why the Linux package dependencies aren't included in the package DESCRIPTION file. I guess that's because they're different names on each distro (again, something else that puzzles me)? So then I wonder why not include dependencies for the common distros like Ubuntu and Debian derivatives: that'd be a start. Still, much better than Windows.
