[Gdal-dev] gdal build failure on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10

[Alans]

I am trying to build gdal on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 and I get the
following error. I have tried 1.6.3 and the latest daily build. Both give
the same error.

alan at stratford:~/gdal/gdal-1.6.3 47% gmake
(cd port; gmake)

The problem seems to be that the port/.libs directory is removed before an
attempt to create a file in that directory. I am not sufficiently proficient
with makefiles to diagnose the problem. Could it be something wrong with my
configuration, or the fact that I am using SLES 10?

I have tried adding a dummy file to the port/.libs directory to make the rm
fail. This just causes a failure in the next director (i.e. gcore/.libs).

Any ideas?
