I cannot install rgeos or rgdal packages in R version 4.1.3. These packages worked fine a month ago before I reformatted my computer and reinstalled R.
This is what I have tried:
install.packages('rgeos', type="source")
install.packages('rgdal', type="source")
This is the message I get when installing - and I DO have Rtools installed.
