I am trying to install rgdal (a dependency of gstat) in R on a Calculate Linux (effectively a generic Gentoo) clean installation. I have sci-libs/gdal installed. Here are the last few lines of output:
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -I/usr/lib64/R/include -DNDEBUG -I/usr/include/gdal -I"/home/wjc721/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/sp/include" -fpic -O2 -march=x86-64 -pipe -c OGR_write.cpp -o OGR_write.o

Existing answers on Stackoverflow are for Linux distributions other than Gentoo. They suggest installation of packages (in Debian) such as libgdal1h, libgdal1-dev, libproj-dev and gdal-bin, none of which exist in Gentoo.
Any help would be very much appreciated! It was working fine on the previous version of Calculate :(
Thanks, Bill
Edit: I upgraded R from v3.2.2 to 3.3.2 and gdal from 2.0.2-r3 to 2.0.3. This did not help, the error is the same.
