[gdal-dev] Trying to clean up multiple GDAL installs

[Even Rouault]

I guess that the GDAL version that QGIS has brought in is located in /usr/bin 
for the binaries and in /usr/lib for the library.
You should probably begin by : apt-get remove libgdal* gdal-bin*
And check that there's no /usr/bin/gdal* or /usr/lib/libgdal*
