[Gdal-dev] build problems in ubuntu

[Ken-ichi Ueda]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get GDAL compiled in Ubuntu (Dapper) without much 
success.  Here's what I've been getting with the CVS version from 7.10.06:

./configure

[configures normally]

make

[compiles ok for a while, then a bunch of gdal_wrap.c errors, ending in]

gdal_wrap.c: In function 'init_gdal':
gdal_wrap.c:12040: error: 'PyObject' undeclared (first use in this function)
gdal_wrap.c:12040: error: 'm' undeclared (first use in this function)

./configure --without-python

[configure normally]

make

[compiles ok]

make install

[installs ok]




./configure --without-python --with-ruby

[configures normally]

make

[compiles ok with recent patch by Sylvain]

make install

[does alright, then tons of errors with gdal_wrap.cpp, ending in]

I'm not really sure what's going on here, especially with Python not 
working.  I have Python 2.4.3 and Ruby 1.8.4 installed.  I don't know if 
anyone can explain what's going on, but I figured I'd document these issues.
