[gdal-dev] Compiling on RHEL 5

[Even Rouault]

My guess is that /usr/lib/libexpat.so is a 32bit library. Maybe there's 
a /usr/lib64/libexpat.so on your system ? I'm not sure of the filesystem 
layout of RedHat's 64bit systems.

If that's the case, use the --with-expat-lib= option of the configure script.
