I think it may be useful to add that rgdal is not provided as a pre-built binary package for OS X-- you have to build it from source. This is because it interfaces with the GDAL library which is a fairly intricate piece of software that one may wish to custom build. There are two options I know of for installing rgdal on OS X. The first is to use GDAL binaries provided by William Kyngesburye-- he has framework versions of GDAL along with a pre-built rgdal binary at: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks#gdal The second option is to roll your own GDAL and build rgdal from source to link against it. You may want to use this option if William's binary version doesn't include the Ehdr driver. I posted some instructions for building the rgdal package from source at: http://n4.nabble.com/Help-with-RGDAL-td908487.html#a908488 Hope this helps! -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/importing-bil-files-tp1677546p1678071.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
