[gdal-dev] Cannot configure SpatiaLite

[Mike Toews]

Hi all,

I cannot seem to configure GDAL 1.7.2 with SpatiaLite support. My
system is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy server LTS. I've installed SpatiaLite
version 2.3.1 from source (both lib and tools), and it appears to work
normally. I'm not sure if it matters, but I installed both sqlite3 and
the development library from normal apt packages. I've even run
ldconfig a few times.

Here is my configure command, and some excerpts of the output:

$ ./configure --with-spatialite=/usr/local/lib/libspatialite.so
...
checking for SpatiaLite... checking for spatialite_init in -lspatialite... yes
disabled
checking for SQLite3 library >= 3.0.0... yes
...
GDAL is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
...
  SQLite support:            yes
  SpatiaLite support:        no


I don't understand the output "-lspatialite... yes disabled" when I
specified the path. Thanks for any help.
