I just created an EC2 instance using an Amazon Linux 2023 AMI (al2023-ami-2023.1.20230705.0-kernel-6.1-x86_64). I'm trying to install gdal so that I can use terra in R. However, all of the current guidance says to use EPEL, which is not available on Amazon Linux 2023.
I think I was able to install gdal and geos using spack as a workaround, which successfully built gdal and geos and about 38 dependencies. However, trying to install terra within R still gives me the following error:
Installing terra [1.7-23] ...

As you can see, I'm using renv as a package manager, if that matters.
This was originally marked as a duplicate of this question, but it does not apply because:
- I am running a Red Hat flavor of Linux, not Debian.
gdal-develis not available in Amazon Linux 2023.
Specifically, if I try to run dnf search gd:
