gdal-config not found while installing packages, Mac M1 Ventura

I am trying to install some packages to work with spatial data such as sf, stars, rgdal, on a Mac Book Air M1 with Ventura.
To do so, I need to have gdal installed to my compute, which I have. My problem is that when I try to install a library (see example with sf here below), the gdal-config file is not found.
But I have it on my computer, so my question is :
Is there a way to indicate the path to R to find that file ?

I tried to to uninstall and reinstall gdal with homebrew, I have proj that is also a dependency rightly installed.
I need to install from sf from sources as it is needed to install the stars package.

Any help is welcome.

Decline the option to install from source anytime compilation fails.

I need to install from sources as this version is needed for the stars package...

This is my Path :

(base) @MacBook-Air ~ % echo $PATH
/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/anaconda3/bin:/opt/anaconda3/condabin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin

gdal-config is in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gdal/3.6.2_2/bin. Do I need to extend the search further maybe ?

Ah, 1.09.

Should be found with that PATH order. If you’re trying this from the IDE without a .Renviron dot file, switch to iTerm2 or your favorite term app, fire up R and install from there.

It found gdal-config this way but I have another error now.
Do you have any idea ?

I understand that I don't have gdal for macOS-arm64 (M1) but for macOS-x86_64 (Intel).

I solve it by reinstalling R and R Studio to their latest version, thanks for your help !
