[gdal-dev] /usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

[Kyle Shannon]

As Even wrote to me some time ago:

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.

and I used --with-expat-lib=/usr/lib64 for the option.
