[gdal-dev] Problem with libtool on RHEL5/x86_64

[Jose Gomez-Dans]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile GDAL 1.7.1 on a RHEL5/x86_64 system. My configure call
is

./configure --with-python --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config
--with-curl=/usr/bin/curl-config --with-hdf4=/usr/lib64/hdf
--with-sqlite3=yes --with-netcdf=no --with-static-proj4=/usr/lib64/
--with-hdf5=/usr/include/hdf5

which gets me HDF4, HDF5, PROJ, GEOS and so on (the output of this is at the
end of the message, in case it helps.). I then compile with make and it
crashes at the linking the library stage (libtool) with

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

I presume this is a problem with the 64/32bit libraries getting mangled. If
I remove the -lstdc++ entry from postdeps in GDAL's version of libtool, it
apparently works, but the python bindings are unusable. The gdal apps are
also linked to a 64bit GDAL library in /usr/local/lib (and not lib64):
$ ldd /usr/local/bin/gdalinfo
        libgdal.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1 (0x00002b113889c000)
        libproj.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libproj.so.0 (0x00002b113934e000)
        libgeos_c.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgeos_c.so.1 (0x00002b1139591000)
        [.....]

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on? I don't really understand
libtool & configure at all!

Thanks!
Jose
