Yeah, once you go manually you usually have to build more things than you
planned to. That's the downside of getting used to package managers.

Take the red pill and follow the rabbit, or learn how to build your own
packages (not such a shallower hole).

No mess here building GDAL, btw. It's even helpful as there's a GDAL beta
out, you may catch some build bug before going final !
