rgdal installation on Fedora 28

[Sarah Goslee]

Hi folks,

I updated all of my linux computers to Fedora 28, and now can’t install rgdal.

I can install sf with no problems, so it doesn't appear to be an issue
with GDAL or with proj.

I checked with Roger Bivand, the package maintainer, who asked me to
confirm whether I could install sf, to make sure it wasn’t a
dependency issue, and to post the logs online, then ask on the
R-sig-geo mailing list. I’m putting the full problem here, and the
abbreviated version on the mailing list.

I’d appreciate any thoughts: I rely very heavily on the incredibly
useful rgdal package.

If you read that whole thread, as far as I can tell it's a permissions
error, possibly due to using an external drive.

I can't see how it would apply to installing an R package from /tmp as
root. Other compiled packages install correctly; rgdal is the only one
giving me this error.

Am I missing something in that thread?

I agree that it doesn't look like that. The main thread here, mostly OSX,
was: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2018-June/026622.html,
earlier https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2018-May/026591.html.

That was where the CXX11 test need came from. See also
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/681, but I don't think it is that.

Can you unpack the source tarball, remove lines 41-47 from configure.ac,
run autoconf to rebuild configure, and see whether removing the test
helps? This is based on a number of off-list contacts.

The following lines in your config.log:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc9pfZ1b.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against .rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

make me wonder: maybe there is a -fPIC compilation flag lacking for you platform in the makefile?

As I mentioned in the tweet, I was able to fix this on both a Fedora 23 and
Fedora 27 machine by making the following change to configure.ac:

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 8ff72be..ab4c772 100644
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
@@ -3,6 +3,8 @@ define([pkgversion], esyscmd([sh -c "grep Version:

 AC_INIT(rgdal, [pkgversion], [hidden email])
 AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/gdal-bindings.cpp)

+AC_PROG_CXX()
+
 # find R home and set correct compiler + flags
 : ${R_HOME=`R RHOME`}
 if test -z "${R_HOME}"; then

rerunning autoconf (also assuming m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 is added)
results in ./configure working for me. I don't have a deep enough
understanding of the vagaries of autoconf to know why exactly this is
necessary on redhat systems and why this fixes it but at least everything
seems to work.

Thanks very much, committed to R-forge as revision 758.

I can confirm that the patched R-Forge version of rgdal installs
correctly on my systems with no other change.

Thank you to Roger and Colin, and everyone else who took a look. The R
community is the BEST.

Just a quick note to point out that you can test installations on systems
without having to install such a system by using Docker. Fedora 28 images
are available on Docker Hub.

You have to figure out how to install the toolchain and other components
for building R etc but that helps make a reproducible installation
procedure.

Is everyone doing this already?

Barry,

No, and it's not that easy. Matching GDAL and PROJ versions, source or binary, multiplies the combinations, and putting aws instances into a box is hard (was missing ldconfig of /usr/local, not rgdal). Docker is always a heavy download, and doesn't work for me on the road and my laptop.

A network of actual users  with problems is arguably as efficient, and includes those with problems in looking for solutions, which is harder for a system solution to do. I for example do not know how to configure R and GDAL versions in a container with Fedora despite doing Dirk's workshop, where we used pre-configured Debian systems.

Somehow people come out of this quite well, don't they?

Just some thoughts,

Roger
