bug#70064: Error when loading r-sf and other spatial packages (gdal related)

Dear guix community,

I am quite new to Guix so I apologize if I am doing something wrong.

I added channel guix-cran to get R packages. I installed r-sf r-terra, 
and other packages. However, I cannot load them in R.

Here, at the end of the message I show and example with r-rgdal but same 
thing happens with r-sf or r-terra.

Am I doing something wrong? Can you reproduce the bug?

Regards,

Javier.

So I managed to solve this. It turns out that some environment variables 
where making this error to happen. Running in an isolated environment 
with `guix shell -C r r-sf -- r` solves the problem.
