I thought I had this installed. You are talking about Frank's 1.3.1  
version gdal, right?

I used the config options:

./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --without-python --with- 
threads --with
-static-proj4=/usr/local --with-libtiff=/usr/local --with-geotiff=/ 
usr/local --w
ith-jpeg=/usr/local --with-gif=/usr/local --with-png=/usr/local -- 
with-jasper=/u
sr/local --with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-mysql=/usr/ 
local/mysql/
bin/mysql_config --with-netcdf=/Volumes/disk1/home1/kwythers/src/ 
netcdf-3.6.0-p1
--with-hdf4=/Volumes/disk1/home1/kwythers/src/HDF4.2r1/hdf4-darwin - 
with-ogdi=/
usr/local --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-grass=/usr/ 
local/grass-6
