RGDAL installation error: libnetcdf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I run RStudio Server on ubuntu 14.04. When trying to install the rgdal package I get the following error message:

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/home/admin2/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- library/2.14/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so':
libnetcdf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error: loading failed
Execution halted

I upgraded RStudio Server, R-Core and all Ubuntu packages to their latest versions but no success. I also tried apt-get install lib32stdc++6 as suggested here, but also no changes. I think it is a problem specific to GDAL and the indexing of shared libraries in unix. Can anyone help please?

Ok I got it done removing Gdal completly, compiling it from source again and setting library paths correctly as described here. Later adding /usr/local/lib/ to /etc/ld.so.conf and run sudo ldconfig as described here.
