This error can be due to two problems:
1) you forgot to install gdal
2) fedora searches the gdal libraries where they aren't. There are several 
ways to solve this. You could search with:
locate libgdal.so.1
where the libs are on your system and link them to a folder where fedora for 
sure finds them.

ex. libs is in /usr/local/lib and you link it to /usr/lib

as root:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1 /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1


Ciao,
HydroloGIS :)

PS: probably if the problem is the second, you will experience the same with 
the proj.
