My Ubuntu machine has latest GDAL (2.2.1, released 2017/06/23). But R complains that I have gdalversion <2.0
configure: CC: gcc -std=gnu99
configure: CXX: g++
checking for gdal-config... /usr/bin/gdal-config
checking gdal-config usability... yes
configure: GDAL: 1.11.3
checking GDAL version >= 2.0.0... no
configure: error: sf is not compatible with GDAL versions below 2.0.0
How can I direct R to access GDAL (2.2.1 version) already installed on Ubuntu?

To get the latest GDAL/OGR version, add the PPA to your sources, then install the gdal-bin package (this should automatically grab any necessary dependencies, including at least the relevant libgdal version). Once you add the repository, go ahead and update your source packages.
To test your installation, run the terminal command gdalinfo --version . A correct installation will output something like GDAL 1.9.
Description. This utility script (available on Unix systems) can be used to determine various information about a GDAL installation. It is normally just used by configure scripts for applications using GDAL but can be queried by an end user.
You may need to uninstall all traces of gdal then re-install it from the ubuntugis-unstable source. The following helped me solve a similar problem:
sudo apt remove libgdal-dev
sudo apt remove libproj-dev
sudo apt remove gdal-bin
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
Make sure a version >= 2.0 appears when you execute this line:
sudo apt-cache policy libgdal-dev
If so, run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgdal-dev
I could then successfully execute in R 3.4.2 in Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty Tahr") this:
install.packages('rgdal')
The following worked for me
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin proj-bin libgdal-dev libproj-dev
