Eric,

I'm guessing you are either not running the version of GDAL you just
installed, or you have a grass driver plugin sitting out there.  If
gdalinfo still works despite the message then it is likely a plugin.
Look in /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins and delete any grass plugins you
find.  Otherwise check to see if there are any old libgdal.so type files
sitting somewhere on your system.  "local libgdal.so" should be your friend
for this.

It is also possible that you didn't do a make clean from a previous
build.  GDAL's build is very sloppy about reacting to configure changes.
If you reconfigure you should also do a "make clean".

Best regards,
