[gdal-dev] Problem building GDAL on Ubuntu

[David Adler]

For the first time I am trying to do development on an Ubuntu system.

After installing various tools, checking out the trunk source and 
configuring, make appears to compile all the source ok but fails in 
libtool with the following messages:

Did I miss something in the setup process?
