I want to install ggalt
package which needs proj4
package installed, but when I install proj4
it throws an error libproj and/or proj_api.h not found in standard search locations
.
My computer is Mac, and I have installed PROJ.4
using brew install proj
, and the version of R is 3.6.0_2
. I searched on the Internet for this problem but didn't find a method to solve it. I'm not a coder and just begin to learn R, so I don't know how to do now.
The error shows as below:

I'm running Pop!_OS 20.04 (Ubuntu fork) and ran into the same problem with proj4
not installing (R 3.6.3). I don't believe libproj was installed yet. I was able to do that manually via the terminal with this command:
sudo apt-get install libproj-dev
I restarted R and was able to install proj4
.
I got also this annoying problem. I was able to build it manually - but at the moment it's a dirty hack. Note I'm not a C programmer so it will not be fixed.
I found at the top of proj_api.h
:
#ifndef ACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H
#error 'To use the proj_api.h you must define the macro ACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H'
#endif
I figured I could insert
#define ACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H
before line 7 in src/p4.c
and line 1462 of configure
of the package source (in both cases just before #include
).
I suppose one could also remove the section from proj_api.h
- however I have not the slightest clue if it might break anything.
