R-studio: RGDAL and NETCDF/ncdf.tools will not install

Hello, I am trying to read in a GRIB file and having trouble utilizing RGDAL and NETCDF which is needed to readGrib files and start plotting. I am having trouble getting library(“rgdal”) to install and work. Netcdf/ncdf.toold did no install either. I am running R studio in OpenSuse Leap 42.2 on a panasonic CF-31 with 4GB ram i7 processor. Any thoughts on these errors?

R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21)
Platform: x86_64-suse-linux-gnu (64-bit)
