Felix,
I use (ubuntu 9.04 / 64-bit), among others, the following
in /etc/ld.so.conf:

---%<---%<--
# share
/usr/local/share/gdal

# gdal
/usr/local/lib/gdalplugins
#/geo/osgeo/FWTools-2.0.6/bin_safe
# I use the last line to read HDF files (like MODIS MOD09 products)
---%<---%<--

No warranty though. I am still messing up my system from time to time
and kill my time trying to fix it (or loading the lists with
questions :-p).

Maybe there should be a separate section in the wiki to explain
step-by-step linking issues, shared libraries, etc.

FYI, below I am copy-pasting notes with respect to "./configuration" for
GDAL compilation [*].

Kindest regards, Nikos
