[ELGIS] Error when installing the GDAL library

[Lars-Gunnar Persson]

I tried to install gdal from your repository on an CentOS 6.3 host but got this error:

# gdalinfo
gdalinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also enabled the testing repo but got the same result.

It looks like hdf5 is newer in epel and the gdal needs updating.

I did the following:

ln -s libhdf5.so.7 libhdf5.so.6
ln -s libhdf5_hl.so.7 libhdf5_hl.so.6

and the error went away.

Will this work or will gdal be updated?
