[gdal-dev] main.gdal_config_error when trying to install gdal

>From the instructions at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa

Somehow the instructions are confusing as they contain instructions to
use the gwibber-daily ppa, but you should use the ubuntugis ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdal

now  depending on your ubuntu version, you may nee to install either
ubuntugis-stable (ok for oneiric) or ubuntugis-unstable (for Precise)

By the way, this discussion should be in the ubuntugis mailing list as
it refers to installing gdal on ubuntu.
