While compiling gdal from source is extremly useful (and quite rewarding), i wouldnt recomment downloading the pre-compliled package: (first do a make uninstall in the directory you "baked" gdal on your own, you might need to sudo it)<div>

libtool may have some problem.<br>
Replace "./configure" with "./configure --without-libtool"<br>
Make sure you have the format drivers you need listed in the
configure script's output.<br>

I need help to install GDAL 1.9.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. I
first downloaded gdal-1.9.1.tar.gz, uncompressed it
and executed ./configure. Where do I go from here?<br>

Have you read: <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnix" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnix</a><br>
It contains the information needed for building GDAL.<br>

Thanks Chaitanya,<br>
I used your suggested command and again, a couple of errors are
reported after "make" was issued (see below). FYI, I had installed
gdal-1.8.0 on a 32-bit Oneric OS without problem. I recently moved
to 64-bit Precise OS and installation of gdal-1.9.1 appear
non-trivial. Any suggestion to fix this? Again, Thanks,<br>
