Compilation failed on MacOSX

[Marc-Girondot]

MacosX 12.1
R 4.12
While install spdep 1.2-1, it produced an error:
impossible de charger l'objet partagé '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/sf/libs/sf.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/sf/libs/sf.so, 0x0006): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gdal/lib/libgdal.29.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/sf/libs/sf.so
Reason: tried: '/usr/local/opt/gdal/lib/libgdal.29.dylib' (no such file), '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib/libgdal.29.dylib' (no such file), '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_241.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libgdal.29.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/Cellar/gdal/3.4.1/lib/libgdal.29.dylib' (no such file), '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib/libgdal.29.dylib' (no such file), '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_241.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/

It tried to use libgdal.29.dylib whereas libgdal.30.dylib is present:
√ lib % cd /usr/local/opt/gdal/lib/
√ lib % ls
libgdal.30.dylib libgdal.a libgdal.dylib pkgconfig python3.9
√ lib % ls -al

If I try to make a symbolic link from libgdal.30.dylib to libgdal.29.dylib, it does not work either:
√ lib % sudo ln -s libgdal.30.dylib libgdal.29.dylib

Erreur : le chargement du package ou de l'espace de noms a échoué pour ‘sf’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

Expected in: /usr/local/Cellar/gdal/3.4.1/lib/libgdal.30.dylib

The sf.so shared object is well in place.

cd /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/sf/libs/
√ libs % ls
sf.so

Any solution ?
Thanks

This is not an spdep issue. See r-spatial/sf#1848, and the resolution of never installing from source unless you know how to do it and need to do it to access the development versions of packages, or more recent versions of external software. See especially r-spatial/sf#1848 (comment) and following responses.
