[Gdal-dev] Continuing problems installing gdal-grass

[William Hudspeth]

Thanks for responding Dan,

I have followed your suggestions - it seems to have configured just
fine. When I try to make, however, I get the following output:

g++ -Wall -fPIC  -DUSE_CPL -DGRASS_GISBASE=\"/usr/local/grass-6.0.1\" -
I/usr/local/gdal/include -I/usr/local/grass-6.0.1/include   -c -o
grass57dataset.o grass57dataset.cpp

Hi Bill,

Your problem is likely to be solved by editing /etc/ld.so.conf to   
include the locations of proj, gdal, grass, and geos. Specifically,   
the full path to both gdal-config and geos-config, and the full paths   
to the library locations of proj (often /usr/local/lib) and grass (/  
usr/local/grass-6.0.1/lib). After editing ld.so.conf, run ldconfig,   
and you should be good to go.

I ran into this problem this weekend (and posted for help to this   
list), so it seems to be a pretty common issue.
