  '--with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib'))

Install and use Homebrew per Ish's comment. It will make this install work and you will be able to avoid other common installation errors with R Packages on MacOSX.

In terminal after Homebrew install run 'brew install gdal' then in R use the installation package 'install.packages("rgdal", type="source")'
