[Gdal-dev] Compilation problems on a Slack machine

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi everyone,

GDAL 1.2.5 compiles fine on a couple of my Debian boxes - both PPC and x86.

However, on an x86 Slack box I am getting the some strange errors in the 
"make" step of compilation.

here are my configure options;
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-png=internal --with-jpeg=internal \
            --with-gif=internal --with-libtiff=internal \
            --with-geotiff=internal --with-libz=internal\
            --without-pg --without-ogdi --with-python \
     --with-threads=yes

and here are the error messages from make:
---------------------------error messages--------------------------------
dylan at atmweb:~/src/gdal-1.2.5$ make
(cd port; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `default'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port'
(cd gcore; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/gcore'

                 from gdalopen.cpp:94:

gdal.h:178:23: cpl_error.h: No such file or directory

....
[more and more and more syntax errors]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it looks like it is breaking after not being able to find two files:
cpl_port.h
cpl_error.h

however:
dylan at atmweb:~/src/gdal-1.2.5$ locate cpl_port
/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port/cpl_port.h
....
and
....
dylan at atmweb:~/src/gdal-1.2.5$ locate cpl_error.
/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port/cpl_error.h

...would suggest that these files do in fact exist... 

is there something wrong with the include path, or the way in which GCC on 
this machine is looking for header files?

this is an exact copy of the source tree on a working setup.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
