They are inside the GDAL framework bundle.  That "@loader_path" is a  
relative reference to the "loading" binary, which should be GDAL.  For  
some reason this isn't working from configure.

Those instructions are a bit out of date, though should be good for  
OGDI 3.1.6 (current stable).  But I think much of the hackery isn't  
needed in OGDI 3.2 beta.

Unless you leave the other bundled stuff there from my packaged GDAL,  
you'll probably lose the GRASS and Postgres formats.
