I have been trying to update my GDAL installation to the current version but I can't get R to recognize the updated libraries.
I ran the updater through OSGEO4W to get the new libraries.
From the command prompt I can see gdal has been updated
gdalinfo --version
GDAL 3.1.4, released 2020/10/20
However, in R, even after reinstalling rgdal, it still shows the old version
> getGDALVersionInfo()
[1] "GDAL 3.0.4, released 2020/01/28"
How can I get R to work with the new gdal libraries?
