[gdal-dev] rgdal source code

Please, do your homework!

Google on "R rgdal" gives:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgdal/index.html

http://rgdal.sourceforge.net/

where the latter says: "The R contributed package rgdal is available from
CRAN", that is the first link. On CRAN you will find both the source tarball
and a Windows 32-bit binary including 1.7.1 with standard drivers and expat
for reading KML etc. 

The sourceforge site is used exclusively as a CVS repository for developers
- it hasn't been used for software distribution since about 2004; the CRAN
distribution mechanism is far more robust and "just works".

Refer to show.file(system.file("README.windows", package="rgdal")) if you
need to build from source for more exotic drivers.

The relevant mailing list is R-sig-geo,
https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/R-SIG-Geo/, and the best
point of entrance, the R Spatial task view:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html.

Hope this helps,

Roger
