However, I'm running into some linking problems related to "gdal-config
--dep-libs" that don't happen with PostGIS 2.0.3 on the same system (which does
not appear to call "gdal-config --dep-libs"). It seems that the GDAL library
linking flags don't work as expected with the gdal-dev package, which I've
submitted here:<br>
