If I recall correctly I went and wiped out anything gdal-related
before that, including even the man pages.  I wanted a clean build
of Xastir without any old include/library files hanging around.

I'd be glad to help.  I'll start by whacking everything again, doing
a find on the /usr/lib, /usr/include, and /usr/local areas to make
sure I got all the gdal-related stuff, then do a clean build from
the tar.gz file.  I'll let you know what I find.  It's possible that
it's an old version of mysql-config on here.  It's the SuSE 9.0
RPM's for that, and 9.0 isn't the latest, but I have done online
updates so it has the very latest 9.0 files on it.
