The CRAN OSX rgdal binaries 1.3-3 and 1.3-4 do not include PROJ datum metadata

If they are not present, consider running this snippet:
pkg <- "rgdal"
exdir <- file.path(system.file(package=pkg), "proj")
list.files(exdir)
tf <- tempfile()

Hope this helps,
I think a lot of us Mac useRs install the KyngChaos super-package (GDAL, GEOS,
PROJ, SQLite and UnixImageIO framework described and linked to at:
https://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks
I see that another version was released earlier this year which I had not
installed, so I only had GDAL 2.1. I got this when loading `rgdal` version
1.3-1 (and I see that I'm a couple of minor versions behind. so I'll update) I
did wonder that the message about linking to `sp` ver 1.2-7 didn't match my
current version of `sp` which is 1.3-1
library(rgdal)

Thanks for reporting back. The line you refer to states the version of sp
that rgdal links to, and sp_1.3-1 is the current CRAN version. Sometimes
we forget to touch the header file in sp, so that it may be out of sync,
but here it is OK. Possibly rgdal was updated before sp?
That's never cause a problem that I've noticed, but I'm not even a
moderate user of GIS so am not stressing the interlocking programs very
hard.
I then mounted the newer super-package 2.2 disk image from KyngChaos and
ran the pkg-installer to see if I could break anything. Nothing seems to
be broken, but the rgdal package still reports loading GDAL 2.1.3,
despite GDAL 2.2 being the more recent version and the one to which the
'Current' folder-symlink is pointing. The PROJ framework now has a new
4B directory but the startup message for the PROJ.4 runtime is also
unchanged.
Because rgdal does not try to re-order the load list for
shared/dynamically loaded objects, it takes the first one offered. If this
(for GDAL) is not the same as the version used at install time, it should
complain, but if install and runtime versions are the same, it shows the
runtime version (getGDALVersionInfo() and getGDALCheckVersion()).
getPROJ4VersionInfo() shows the PROJ version, using two sources, one a
call to a runtime function, the other the PROJ header file version value
from install time. These may differ, but the runtime simply reports the
same header information, so this isn't foolproof (and versions of PROJ
years ago were released without the header files getting the correct
version numbers.
Provided the examples and tests run, things should be OK, but code
coverage wrt. external software (and revisions of the EPSG database) is
not like the textbook definition.
