IIRC, you can set the environment variable |

Hi @edzer . I thought I had done so, but on checking I hadn't removed the gdal-data library. Which I have now done, and installed 2.2 . But sf still won't install properly. Any ideas please? It looks like perhaps it's similar to this issue...?#40 |
|
To me it looks most like #844; see also the README.md of this repo, paragraph on "Multiple GDAL, GEOS and/or PROJ versions on your system". |
|
Thanks will check those out. |
|
It does indeed look like I have multiple GEOS on my system . I'm too novice to understand how to fix this though. Could you point me towards the best place to ask for help please? (as I appreciate this isn't a SF problem). |
|
If removing packages on your system doesn't remove everything, I'm afraid the only thing you can do is remove offending files by hand. There are a number of docker files that may be helpful creating more controlled systems. |
|
Strange, I've now removed multiple versions of geos but still get the same issue. Checking versions |
|
You're looking for binaries, where you should be looking for dynamic libraries. |
|
Oh. I don't know how to do that. :-( I'm very aware that I'm being a drag on your time, so I'm really sorry, but could you advise on how to proceed? I managed to do this though, maybe it helps? I guess the issue is that I have duplicate items on the left of this, pointing at different items on the right. I guess I can delete some of the items on the right? |
|
No, I'm sorry. |
|
Now solved. Uninstalled and reinstalled lots of packages. Not quite sure what did the trick, but rgdal and sf will now install. Thanks for your efforts anyway edzer. |

For what it's worth, though I am not sure if this hack is a really good idea. At the moment, I am trying to run QGIS3 on Ubuntu 18.04. At the same time I would like to have rgdal and sf available within R. For the latter I would need to run gdalinfo --version
GDAL 2.2.3, released 2017/11/20Trying to install rgdal, leads to the error message as pointed out by @JimShady at the beginning of this issue. install.packages("rgdal")

Hmm. I also run QGIS3 . I didn't realise the issue was linked to that, but maybe it was. |
|
Are you (both) installing from PPA ubuntugis-unstable, and does QGIS3 also come from there? |
|
This is how I installed QGIS3: # add QGIS repository for Ubuntu 18.04 to sources.list
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://qgis.org/debian bionic main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://qgis.org/debian bionic main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu bionic main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
# install aptitude to cleverly solve dependency issues
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grassThe first thing to note is that in the meantime, http://qgis.org/ubuntu is also available, so I should have used this repository instead of http://qgis.org/debian. Not sure if that would have solved the problem already, but I guess not. |

@rsbivand thanks! In fact, @edzer I have now installed both QGIS3 and GDAL from PPA ubuntugis-unstable. QGIS3 is still using GDAL 2.2.3, hence, the problem persists, but for the time being, I have a work around and sooner or later they will update to GDAL 2.3, I guess. In any case, I wish you both a Happy New Year! |

@rsbivand I understand, thanks. |

I'm using ubuntu 20.04 with R 4.0. New computer so shouldn't be old versions of gdal around. Reading the chain of comments above and the errors that came from trying to install rgdal, sf, etc.. I discovered that there were no copies of pcs.csv on my computer. proj-bin is at version 6.3.1-1, gdalinfo says the version is gdal 3.0.4. I have a mac with a similar set up. It did have copies of pcs.csv. So I copied one to my ubuntu machine and put it in/usr/share/gdal/. I still get failures installing. The error messages involve dbWriteTable. and report double free or corruption (!prev). But thought it might be useful to report the missing pcs.csv file |

I have the below package installed but still getting the error with the missing pcs.csv file. i searched a lot but could not find the solution of this problem Installed Packages |

Evening,
Any ideas on the below would be great please. sf can't find pcs.csv .
Running gdal-config --datadir gives me
However that directory does not exist. I previously installed GDAL 2.6 from NextGIS but then removed it as it was conflicting with something else. This
I'm in a bit of a pickle . How can I 'create' a 2.2 folder in the share/gdal folder? Why wasn't it made when I installed GDAL 2.2 from ubuntugis/unstable ?
Thanks
James
