I can't install the package "sf" on R. Seems there is an issue with gdal. No idea how to resolve it.
> install.packages("sf")
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
sf 0.4-3 0.5-1 TRUE
Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?

The downloaded source packages are in

Why does it say the download failed, then say the source packages are downloaded. What gives?
