I am starting to work with Rstudio and have to work with spatial data. This question relates to my previous question about installing rgdal. I work on a Macbook pro with OSX10.7.5. Do I need to install GDAL 1.10 Complete as an installer in order to install some R packages? I can download these from: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks. Is this a good idea? Thank you in advance, Sarah

From here:

"rgdal provides bindings to Frank Warmerdam's Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) (>= 1.6.3) and access to projection/transformation operations from the PROJ.4 library."

So yes, in order to use rgdal in R you need to GDAL complete.
