<p>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).</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>See example QGIS log output after trying R summary tool.</p>
