Dinesh,

This a normal error indicating that the libgdal1.7.0.so.1 shared library
is not being found.  Normally I'd address this by adding a "SetEnv" directive
in my apache file setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the directory with
the libgdal1.7.0.so.1 file.  It might also make sense to put that file
somewhere like /usr/lib and use ldconfig - see the ldconfig or ld.so.conf
man pages for more information on this.  This is in no way a GDAL specific
issue.

Best regards,
