[gdal-dev] libFileGDBAPI.so not found with compiling gdal 1.9.2 on openSUSE 12.2 x64.

[Donovan Cameron]

I can't seem to compile GDAL with FileGDB support on openSUSE.
I'm compiling locally using the OBS tools (osc) and have checked-out
the libgdal package from the Application:Geo project.

Steps I've taken:

1) Download FileGDB_API_1_2-64.tar.gz

2) tar xzvf FileGDB_API_1_2-64.tar.gz -C /usr/lib64/

3) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/FileGDB_API/lib
cd /usr/lib64/FileGDB_API/samples
make
cd bin
./Querying #Works, so the API is fine.

4) su -
$ vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fgdb.conf #Added a single entry:
/usr/lib64/FileGDB_API/lib
$ ldconfig #A grep of this with the -v flag shows it registered fine

5) #Some openSUSE specific stuff, b/c I'm building locally via the OBS
$ zypper in osc
cd /home/saultdon/Development/obs
osc co Application:Geo libgdal
cd Application:Geo/libgdal
vi libgdal.spec #added "--with-fgdb=/usr/lib64/FileGDB_API" in
%configure section
#I also did a test build without that configure param. first and it
compiled fine with working RPMs
osc build openSUSE_12.2 x86_64 libgdal.spec --clean

Resulting Error:
[  209s] checking for libFileGDBAPI.so in in
/usr/lib64/FileGDB_API/lib... configure: error: not found.
[  209s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.7SOa8g (%build)
[  209s] RPM build errors:
[  209s] Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.7SOa8g (%build)
The buildroot was: /var/tmp/build-root

libFileGDBAPI.so file exists, ldconfig registered it, and the API test
worked fine, the env. var. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also set, but I don't
even think that's necessary. I only had to set that to get the API
test to work.

I'm not sure where this is going wrong. If anyone has any input or
needs more information, let me know.


Thanks!
