[R] Problem installing rgdal.

[ProfJCNash]

I found that I have libgdal1-dev installed too.

john at john-J6-2015 ~ $ dpkg -l | grep gdal
ii  libgdal-dev                                 1.10.1+dfsg-5ubuntu1                                amd64

ii  libgdal1-dev                                1.10.1+dfsg-5ubuntu1                                all
Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Transitional package
ii  libgdal1h                                   1.10.1+dfsg-5ubuntu1                                amd64

john at john-J6-2015 ~ $

and I get the following outputs in R:
