[gdal-dev] ArcSDE Direct Connect Support

The ArcSDE driver isn't really popular those days I think as I think the 
ArcSDE SDK has been more or less abandonned by ESRI.

Looking at GDAL configure script, I can see indeed that libsdeXXX.so and 
libpeXXX.so will be fetched (where XXX=102 in your case). It should also try 
to fetch libsgXXX.so.
libpq has nothing to do: it is tied with the postgresql libs that you must 
have already installed (if you do --without-pg, it shouldn't be used anymore, 
but it's also fine to let it)

I don't think you should try to link to those libs. They must be 
implementation details of the SDE SDK.

Can't you find libsde102.so , libpe102.so and libsg102.so ? (just guessing 
blindly as I've never had access to an ArcSDE SDK ;-))
Or something similar. In which case you could try to cheat and create symlinks 
from the actual .so name found in the SDK to the expected names: libsde102.so 
, libpe102.so and libsg102.so. Probability it works is low.
