[Gdal-dev] Error compiling gdal: libgrass_I.so: cannot open shared object file

[Patton, Eric]

Thanks for the pointers, Frank.

I removed existing Grass plugins in /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins, ran make distclean, reconfigured, and installed again. The libgrass error mentioned in the subject header is now gone, however, it's replaced by "Segmentation Fault" when I try to run any gdal program.

I don't get any obvious errors during configure or make. I'm installing in /usr/local/gdal-1.3.2, and my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $PATH seem OK:

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/IVS/lib

$ echo $PATH/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11: \ /usr/games:/usr/local/IVS/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/grass-6.3.cvs/bin_tcl: \ /opt/grass-6.3.cvs/bin_extra:/home/epatton/coderepo

My libgeos and libproj files all exist in /usr/local/lib, which is included in /etc/ld.so.conf:

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/atlas

Maybe try compliing without libtool?
