No GDAL installation found (rocker/geospatial) #88

Closed AurelioG closed 4 years ago

AurelioG commented 4 years ago

Please someone, cast some light into this: In a Ubuntu 18.04 host and rocker/geospatial container gdal is found by R. However, MODIS can't locate the library, even when the path is set.

The image doesn't seem to ship with gdalinfo, which MODIS heavily relies upon in order to

Simply docker run with option -e ROOT=TRUE (ie. root access, see here) enabled, then sudo apt install gdal-bin from the console. Afterwards, you should be able to install MODIS successfully. You can easily verify that GDAL was found via MODISoptions(), which will detect all GDAL supported drivers.

For the record, I have been using rocker/geospatial:latest for testing.
