[Qgis-user] Unable to run R in QGIS 2.6 - rgdal binary unavailable for R 3.1

[drruddy gmail]

Apologies for cross-posting. Having trouble getting a resolution on gis.stackexchange here.

I’m attempting to use R within QGIS2.6 on OSX Mavericks but cannot get R to run because rgdal is not available as binary for R3.1.2 (see QGIS log output from R execution console below).

I have installed rgdal on my system R installation using alternatives to install.package(rgdal, source) such as KyngChaos but QGIS doesn’t seem to be seeing rgdal. Does QGIS use an different R/rgdal location to my main system versions?

See example QGIS log output after trying R summary tool.

R execution console output

options("repos"="http://cran.at.r-project.org/") tryCatch(find.package("rgdal"), error=function(e) install.packages("rgdal", dependencies=TRUE))

package 'rgdal' is available as a source package but not as a binary

Warning message: package 'rgdal' is not available (for R version 3.1.2) tryCatch(find.package("raster"), error=function(e) install.packages("raster", dependencies=TRUE)) [1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/raster" library("raster") Loading required package: sp library("rgdal") Error in library("rgdal") : there is no package called 'rgdal' Execution halted
many thanks
