[ELGIS] GDAL 1.8.0

[Jeff Lake]

ok was able to roll back to hdf 1.6.6
so that is quieted ..
(did get hdf 1.8.7 from rpmforge had to disable that repo to roll back)


did some checking .. MySQL 5.1.3 is the supported/installed EL5 by cPanel ..
it is recommended I don't roll that back ...

MySQL 5.5 is what I have on another system, and amazingly enough gdal 1.8
didn't gripe there
