Difficulty installing rgdal on ubuntu 16.04 LTS
I have searched for an answer that helps my situation to avoid duplication but to no avail.
I want to install the 'rgdal' package in R on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. If I code in R-studio like this
install.packages("rgdal", type = "source")
it gives the following error:
Installing package into ‘/home/kocesat/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rgdal’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3)
Then I try to install libgdal1-dev, libproj-dev like this
$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev libproj-dev
It installed the dev files successfully. Then I tried to install "rgdal" again in R-studio with the same command. It didn't work.
Then I installed homebrew and try to get gdal with
~$ brew install gdal
he returned
Error: undefined method `rebuild' for
#<BottleSpecification:0x000000015ddc60>

Now what should I do? Any input would be appreciated.

Here is what I use to install on Ubuntu 16.04 with the latest R-cran PPA repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial/'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev libproj-dev libgeos-dev
sudo apt-get install r-base-core
You can use a different CRAN mirror depending on your location: https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html
Then it install.packages("rgdal")
should work.
If you need the latest spatial libraries in Ubuntu LTS versions, you can also use the ubuntugis
PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu xenial main'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 314DF160
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
