[gdal-dev] Compiling on RHEL 5

[Kyle Shannon]

Hello everyone, I am new(er) to linux and I tried to compile gdal on a new
workstation running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2.  I ran into
an error during compilation:

/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libgdal.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kyle/gdal/gdal-1.6.0'
make: *** [check-lib] Error 2


I am hoping this is a simple issue where I just have to tell the configure
script something I missed.  Anyone have any ideas?  thank you.

Other stats:
RHEL 5.2 64bit
gcc 4.1.2
