You probably need to install header files and rebuild 'rgdal'. To get
the R
GIS stack to work, you need the '-devel' packages for 'geos',
'gdal' and
'proj'.

How many people can stand on the shoulders of a giant before the giant
collapses?

When this person posted simulatneously on the PROJ4 issues on github, I
replied that his problem is a defective PROJ4 rpm (4.9.0 and 4.9.1 were
released without an important metadata file in the source, so packagers also
missed it).

That reply is at:

Simple googling for proj_defs.dat, or installing PROJ 4.9.2, would have
solved the problem, but the OP has chosen to splatter multiple poorly chosen
places with poorly formed questions.

For Windows and OSX CRAN binaries, we can do (and did) handholding for this
upstream blunder, but users installing from source do need to watch their
external dependencies.

Resolution as given on github: install the missing file by hand, or upgrade
PROJ to 4.9.2
