[gdal-dev] RE: compile from source on Ubuntu7.10 64bit EC2 instance

[Randy George]

Hi Adam, Markus,

Thanks for stretching the rules a bit. This helped immensely. 

For the next Ubuntu EC2 novice:
 cd /usr/src
 apt-get update
 apt-get install build-essential
 wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.5.0.tar.gz
 tar -xvzf gdal-1.5.0.tar.gz
 cd gdal-1.5.0
 ./configure
 make
 make install
 ldconfig
 gdal_grid --version
   GDAL 1.5.0, released 2007/12/18 

thanks
randy

I shouldn't be telling you this since its not really a GDAL problem ... 
anyway, apt-get install build-essential
