When trying to install the "rgdal" package of dev-lang/R, the installation fails because the file "projects.h" is not present. When contacting the developers, they say that Gentoo should produce an installation that generates the "projects.h" file. But I have not been able get this file, even using the unstable proj-4.9.2, or compiling gdal and ogdi as well. Why is it that the file is not generated?

According to a developer: -----8<--------------- proj_api.h is declared as the API header, so should be all that is needed. This is old-fashioned C code in a legacy codebase, so a number of functions and particular structs and unions (and obfuscation through void pointers) are not in proj_api.h, but are in projects.h. Our case now was that you could crash R (in rgdal < 1.1-10) by: project(cbind(0, 0), "+proj=airy", inv=TRUE) because airy does not have an inverse projection, but this can only be checked using projects.h, as proj_api.h exposes a struct that does not have the ->inv member. This does the same: $ echo "0 0" | invproj +proj=airy Rel. 4.9.2, 08 September 2015 <invproj>: inverse projection not available program abnormally terminated But in the proj and invproj programs, projects.h is accessed and provides the test giving the error message; neither use the error handler that entered the proj4 codebase later, and which would let the exception be passed safely to R's error handler. Gentoo needs to provide projects.h unless someone can modernise the whole proj4 codebase. There is a test loop in: https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/tests/test_proj.R?root=rgdal&r1=523&r2=619 with output changes: https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/tests/test_proj.Rout.save?root=rgdal&r1=523&r2=619 showing how many projections do not have defined inverses. The project function effectively handed off inverse projection to a NULL pointer in the previous crashing cases. In proj4 itself, using invproj on the commandline gives: $ echo $? 3 so it error-exits from the functions in the library, even though it could land more gracefully. -----8<--------------- PS: Sorry for incorrectly adding emerge --info in the first comment.
projects.h installed by sci-libs/proj-4.9.2: $ qlist sci-libs/proj-4.9.2 | grep projects /usr/include/projects.h
That is correct. Yes. It is working in proj-4.9.2.
