My attempted build of GDAL is now getting a little further. I have upgraded
libtools to 2.2.6b and unset my RM environment var (this was previously set
to "/bin/rm" but there seemed to have been an assumption that it was "rm -f"
or not set!)

My new problem is as follows:

libtool: link: g++ -shared -nostdlib
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/crti.o

gmake[1]: *** [libgdal.la] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/nashome/alan/gdal/gdal-svn-trunk-2009.12.14'
gmake: *** [check-lib] Error 2

The problem here is that it is looking for libexpat.so in /usr/lib rather
than /usr/lib64.

I have tried configuring with '--with-expat-lib="-L/usr/lib64"' and with
'--with-expat-lib=/usr/lib64' but neither made any difference. It is not
clear to me how --with-expat-lib should be used or what it should be set to.

In anycase I am not sure that I should need to use this option since the
library is in a fairly common place, i.e. /usr/lib64, especially as I don't
need to specify this for lots of other libraries!

Also, once I get past libexpat it looks like I will get similar failures for
libjasper, libjpeg and others. Perhaps  there is some other
setting/environment variable that I should be aware of.

Can anyone help this very weary, and obviously not very clever GDAL
builder:confused:.

Regards
Alan
