[Gdal-dev] gdal-1.3.1 on FreeBSD 4 fails to build

Hello list,

building gdal 1.3.1 on FreeBSD 4.11 (and higher) fails with the 
following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This could be solved by using "./configure --with-local=/usr/local" - a 
hint I got from Tom Russo and Frank Warmerdam in August. On FreeBSD 5.4 
and higher, gdal-1.3.1 builds successfully this way, but on FreeBSD 4.11 
building fails repeatable on two 4.11 boxes with the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
  g++ -Wall -O2 -I../../port -I../../gcore -I../../alg -I../../ogr
-I../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I/usr/local/include -I../../port -DUSE_IN_GDAL

The FreeBSD port is officially marked as broken: "Mark broken on 4.x due 
to C++-related build failure." I also saw that geos is marked broken, 
thus I still have geos-1.0 - a possible source of errors for gdal building?



I'd appreciate any sugestions!

Thanks,
Ben
