After writing some code (stupidly without checking to see if there was code to do this already) to generate PostGIS SQL insert statements for simple geometry (wkt), I didn't check see if there is already something available to convert WKT strings into some R package geometry (sp?). Does anyone have any advice, hints, code (?) for converting the following OpenGIS strings into something

I am trying to install the rgdal package on my Mac OS X 3.9. I downloaded and installed the GDAL libraries from Fink and then tried to install rgdal and got the following message.

Greetings: As I am not a windows user, I cannot try this: is it possible to install rgdal on windows without having to compile it from source ? Compilation on MacOS is within my abilities, however each time i try and install the rgdal package it dies complaining that it cannot find gdal-config --- which was recently installed with GRASS. I have updated my PATH environment variable, logged

Hi all, I have successfully made and installed both gdal, and proj.4, but still cannot get rgdal to be installed in R. I think i'm very close. I do not have root access, if that matters, i've installed everything locally. I'm using debian on a beowulf cluster. I call: install.packages("rgdal", .libPaths()[1], configure.args =

Hello, I run [R] 2.14 on Mac OS 10.6 and I've been desperately trying to install rpy2 in order to compute spatial statistics on QGIS 1.7.3. rpy2 is dependent upon the rgdal [R]package that I've been unable to install in spite of up to date versions of GDAL and PROJ. More precisely, [R] console writes "Error: gdal-config not found". As a matter of fact, typing

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.

I am having trouble getting the rgal package to work on Mac OS X. I suspect it has something to do with the link between the rgal package and the associated programs GDAL and PROJ4.

Hi, I'm installing rgdal but I keep having failures because I have not been able to find a good source of information for the correct configuration settings when installing GDAL. My error from the R install.packages("rgdal") is below. Can someone point me to a good source to tell me how to set after ./configure when installing GDAL? I'd like to be able to work with raster

Dear All   I want to import the vector file (   .shp) to R. I could import the file by rgdal package before, by following:   geology<-readOGR('C:/geology//saga/geo.geom','finalgeology')   but now there is an error:   Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, input_field_name_encoding = input_field_name_encoding) :           GDAL Error 4: .shx file is unreadable, or corrupt.

I previously sent a cri de coeur about this problem to the r-help list but so far have not managed to extract a solution. So I am trying here. (Uh, Ubuntu *is* a "special instance" of Debian, isn't it?) The problem is that I cannot install rgdal, and I need it. Rather desperately. I do: install.packages("rgdal",lib="/home/rolf/Rlib") and get the error
