[Gdal-dev] Package review submitted for Fedora & NetCDF include path

[Frederick (Rick) A Niles]

OK, I got tried of waiting for someone else to do it.  I re-built SRPMS 
for GDAL and OGDI and posted them here: http://www.gnupooh.org/RPM

Then I requested package review in Red Hat's Bugzilla to have them added 
to Fedora.  

I just slightly modified SPEC files I got from one of the binary RPM 
sites listed on the GDAL page so I hope no-one will feel I'm stealing 
credit for them.  I just wanted to get it done.

Previously, Fedora didn't accept GDAL because there was a shared object 
conflict with GRASS.  Hopefully we can work past that.

Also, I couldn't build with "netcdf" because Fedora puts the CDF include 
files in "/usr/include/netcdf-3" and GDAL doesn't look there.  I could 
have put in a little hack patch to add "-I/usr/include/netcdf-3" to the 
Makefile, but I was hoping it could somehow be fixed upstream.   Can you 
have autoconf check for NETCDF in that location and have the Makefile 
modified to work with that include path?

Thanks,
Rick Niles.
