[gdal-dev] Build GDAL from scratch on CentOS 6.5 (Jake Brinkmann)

[Jake Brinkmann]

Hey Daniel,

Much appreciated! I think building my own on a VM might be the next thing I
try.
I attempted to use jevans version, with a fresh install of Anaconda, but to
no avail.
The code here: https://gist.github.com/jake-brinkmann/fb4bd3f4625b209978d0
still didn't work.

I'll look through the examples to attempt again after building my own
package.

Thank you!
Jake
