[ELGIS] GDAL Dependency Problem

[Mathieu Baudier]

Hi Bill,

The package you need is xerces-c.

I just looked on a CentOS 5 box and it seems that it is available in the
CentOS 'extra' repository, which should be activated by default.
(but maybe you deactivated it at some point before).

Look into /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
and locate [extra].
Is it enabled or disabled?

On a side note, I must admit that this is the first time I notice that
this GDAL dependency is not in RHEL base.

There is this ticket to have it integrated in 5.8:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740332 

I wonder how RHEL 5 users are doing.
Is xerces-c in an optional repository or something like that?

If somebody on RHEL 5 could just execute:

yum list xerces-c

and send the output, I'd be grateful.

Cheers,

Mathieu
