[gdal-dev] Problem Compiling with Oracle (--with-oci)

[Chris Hodgson]

What would need changed in the configure file? There is no reference 
there to the non-existent libexpat.

I'm not familiar with spec files... but if I wanted to learn - what 
could I do there that I couldn't do in the configure/make process? The 
spec file still uses the package's build system right?

It's not until the final linking with libtool that the problem happens, 
I just don't know what I need to tell libtool to get it to smarten up...

Surely other people have compiled with support for oracle 11g? CentOS is 
just repackaged RHEL.... I don't know what I'm doing that is out of the 
ordinary here.
