LD_SHARED is often not definied in GDALmake.opt after a ./configure
(for some reason).  I have temporarily solved the problem for GNU
platforms by changing the target to call LD and use the -shared flag.
This, as well as the hard-coded -fPIC flag, will not translate to other
platforms; be warned.

A CVS update should solve the problem in your case.

3.  Import what you need of gdal.jar into your source and go!  An
example is in the apps directory and is called gdalinfo.java.  Here's
how to get it running:
 - Go into the apps directory.
 - Compile with 'javac -classpath ../gdal.jar gdalinfo.java'
 - Run with 'java -cp ../gdal.jar -Djava.library.path=../.libs/
gdalinfo <filename>'

Hi Ben,

I have managed to compile the bindings, get the jar file etc. and run java -cp .:../gdal.jar -Djava.library.path=..:../libs/ gdalinfo dataname and it kind of works.

However it complains of  Unable to load PROJ.4 library, and even adding /usr/local/lib to java.library.path doesn't help.  Is this something you have come accross?

Reading the JavaDocs, the use of NIO should make the data transfer fast, so I am looking forward to getting it working.

thanks,

Norman
