Answer 1

I installed it via conda on my Mac (OS X 10.10.5). The installation was simple. If you're new to conda, check this http://conda.pydata.org/docs/r-with-conda.html

conda install gdal
gdalinfo --version
# GDAL 2.1.0, released 2016/04/25

R Package installation:

install.packages('rgdal', type = "source", configure.args=c(
    '--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/gdal-config',
    '--with-proj-include=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Headers',
    '--with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib'))

install.packages('rgeos', type = "source", configure.args=c(
    '--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/gdal-config',
    '--with-proj-include=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Headers',
    '--with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib'))

install.packages('maptools', dependencies=TRUE)
