[ELGIS] GDAL 1.8.0

[Jeff Lake]

First time posting to group,
Is there any reason why 1.8.0 is dependent on such old libraries??

yum or rpm cannot get past the dependencies on

libhdf5.so.0()(64bit) is needed by gdal-1.8.0-4.el5.elgis.x86_64
libmysqlclient.so.15()(64bit) is needed by gdal-1.8.0-4.el5.elgis.x86_64
libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit) is needed by 
gdal-1.8.0-4.el5.elgis.x86_64


why would I want to roll back hdf5 to 1.6 from 1.8.7 to get that library
same for mysql ... 5.5 is installed I would need to roll back to 5.0.77
to get that library
Suggestions ??
