[Gdal-dev] installing gdal

[Christine Spietz]

Hi folks,

tried some other things to install the gdal/ogr-sources but they all don't 
succeed.
Can please give anybody some help?

I think I may have located the error but I'm not sure and if it really is 
the error other people should had have similar problems...... but I was not 
able to find something on the list:

After all problems (see previous message) I decided that I must have choosen 
the wrong configuration.
So I tried several kinds of (in my opinion) possible configurations. Last 
one was

gdal-home > 
./configure --with-jpeg=/usr/lib/gdal/gdal-cvs-2006.05.18/frmts/jpeg/libjpeg

(but I'm still not sure is it is the write path and I think I do not really 
need to have a configuration with jpeg, because I "only" want to 
transform/convert vector data)

The error-message after a 'make'-command was
>...
>......../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -l jpeg

>collect2: ld returned exit status make[1]: ***[libgdal.la] Error 1

>make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/gdal/gdal-cvs-2006.05.18'

>make: *** [check-lib] Error 2

Now I thought maybe something wrong in the libgdal.la-file 
(/usr/lib/gdal/gdal-cvs-2006.05.18/libgdal.la)
and in the file there it stands:
>#Libraries that this one depends on:
>dependency_libs='...... /usr/lib/libjpeg.la -lrt -ldl 
>/usr/lib/libstdc++.la'

But I have no file libjpeg.la!

So again I configured:

./configure --with-jpeg=no, hoping the dependency-libs-list in libgdal.la 
would change but it doesn't

after a make becoming the same error as I got before while trying to 
configure without jpeg.

>/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libjepg.la: No such file or directory
>libtool: link: '/usr/lib/libjpeg.la' is not a valid libtool archive
>make[1]: *** [libgdal.la] Error 1

By the side it seems curious that by configuring with "--with-jpeg=no" there 
is still the error message like this

I would be really gratefull for any help!
