[Gdal-dev] Error making GDAL CVS daily "snapshot"

[Bill Thoen]

Apparently lidn is a curl thing. I tried ./configure --without-curl, but
that didn't work. Then I tried removing $(CURL_LIB) from the LIBS list in
GDALmake.opt, and that didn't work because several other things wanted to
reference those libraries. SO I finally uninstalled curl, and probably broke
a bunch of other stuff in OpenOffice (sigh! 'yum remove' seems to be very
thorough) but then GDAL built just fine.
