Trying to get runGdal() working on mac

[dkcorvus86]

Because, I have yet to be able to get MODIS to function properly on my PC (see thread here), I decided to give it a try on my lab's Mac. I installed homebrew and followed the instructions to install GDal.
When I run MODIS:::checkTools("GDal") it returns

Checking availability of GDAL:
OK, GDAL 3.0.4, released 2020/01/28 found!

but when I run the code from the ebird best practices (same code as previous thread it returns

It continues to repeat this error, and nothing gets downloaded, processes, and deposited into the out file.
Clearly, I am doing something wrong on both OS and they appear to be two separate problems(?).

Sorry for the delay. I'll try to dig a little deeper into this within the next couple of days.

Florian,

Not a problem at all. I appreciate your continued help while I navigate this new terrain.

@dkcorvus86 Can you try again with the latest pkg version? All GDAL related operations have been moved to sf::gdal_utils(). You hopefully shouldn't experience such problems any longer.
