Ed,

Generally this is the result of not doing a clean make, failing to actually
install or having multiple copies of GDAL around and using one that isn't
the one you just build and installed.

Try:

make clean; make; make install

in the gdal directory.

If the problem persists, try "ldd `which gdal_translate`" to find
out what shared library is actually getting used and verify (with
ls -l) that it is the one you just built and installed.

Best regards,
