[gdal-dev] Build GDAL from scratch on CentOS 6.5

[Jake Brinkmann]

Hello all geospatial-web-wizards,

I am struggling pretty hard building the GDAL libraries and all the
countless dependencies from source in CentOS6.5. I do not have root access
on my machine, but I need the GDAL (as well as HDF, GeoTiff, GEOS, etc.)
libraries for performing image processing using the Terra/Aqua MODIS
satellite remote sensing data.
Does anyone out there have experience building GDAL along with HDF and
Python bindings, but without, and I emphasize here: *without* root access?
Alternatively, if possible, I would be willing to install a binary, but
remember: I do not have root access (so I'm not sure this would work...)
and lack experience with *.rpm files

Let me know, please, if anyone has any ideas at all.
I am really wishing the Anaconda Python distribution would come with GDAL
supporting HDF4, but it currently does not...

Thanks for reading, and any help you can provide,
