[Qgis-user] How to open ESRI geodatabase in QGIS 1.8 and Gdal 1.9 on Ubuntu?

[Johan Nilsson]

Thanx :) Are a big help :) Just checked that I have minimun requements of
the gcc compiler :) Now will I see where my GDAL folder are...or just
uninstall it from synaptic? Have I understand i right, that the GDAL-bin
don't have the ability to add drivers, and that is why I need to compile a
new GDAL-bin?

/Cheers
