[gdal-dev] Re: Cannot configure SpatiaLite

[Mike Toews]

Ok I figured it out after inspecting the code[1]. This works:

$ ./configure --with-spatialite=/usr/local

or (if SpatiaLite installed by apt in Ubuntu 10.04)

$ ./configure --with-spatialite=/usr

Why isn't the presence of -lspatialite tested and added automatically,
like with all other formats?
