You might be better off compiling from CVS,

to download and install gdal:
  % export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at cvs.remotesensing.org:/cvsroot
  % cvs login
  Password: anonymous
  % cvs checkout gdal

  % cd gdal
  % ./configure
  % make
  % su
  Password: ********
  # make install
  # exit


(% means as user, # means as root)

Then try running 'gdalinfo --formats' to check setup.

If you haven't installed libraries to /usr/local before, you should edit
your /etc/ld.so.conf file to include /usr/local/lib, and then as root
run '/sbin/ldconfig'.

You'd then need to recompile GRASS 5.7 using --with-gdal. As long as you
don't install it anywhere weird, you shouldn't need to use
--with-gdal=/path/to/gdal-config.


good luck,
Hamish
