"You should reinstall package 'terra'"

[aloboa]

On R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01) -- "Bird Hippie" I get:

> library(terra)
terra 1.7.55
WARNING: different compile-time and run-time versions of GEOS
Compiled with:3.8.0-CAPI-1.13.1
 Running with:3.10.2-CAPI-1.16.0

You should reinstall package 'terra'

I do and get the same message again.

That suggests you have two version of GEOS installed. One gets used when "terra" is installed, and the other when "terra" runs. That can lead to crashes. Can you remove the older version of GEOS?

[aloboa]

Synaptic reports libgeos3.10.2, how could I find the other one? R package geos does not complain but do not know which one is using.

[aloboa]

As far as I understand, according to these commands, I only have 3.10.2:

@aloboa, did you try reinstall terra to use a newer version of GEOS for compilation?

[aloboa]

Yes, of course. The installation ends by stating: You should reinstall package 'terra' I do it and get the same message again. The output of the compilation mentions 3.10.2 only.

[aloboa]

Could it be just an error involving the message itself, and actually nothing is wrong with the installation?
