[Gdal-dev] Gdalinfo error

[Benjamin Wragg]

Thanks Frank. I have proj.4 installed and working with other programs
like postgis and mapserver, so I don't think it's proj.4. I'll recompile
with gdal 1.1.9. To be safe should I remove /usr/local/include from the
ld.so.conf file just before I compile 1.1.9? Is the ld.so.conf file
contain what you describe as the "include path"?

Thanks,

Benjamin

Benjamin,

The problem in question related to configure getting mixed up on systems
where /usr/local/include was already in the include path.  I believe
this quirk is addressed by the GDAL 1.1.9 configure.  However, you
should also confirm that you actually have PROJ.4 installed.  It is a
separate package from GDAL.  I would also note that it isn't required
for most GDAL operations, though without it you won't get lat/long
bounds reported for gdal datasets, and the gdal warping reprojection
support would not be operational.

Best regards,
