[GRASS-user] installation problems in user space

[Abhinandan Raghavan]

continuing with my woes while trying to install grass, I've managed to
install gdal but when I try and compile grass, I get this message:

------------------
checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg... yes
checking whether to use GDAL... yes
yes
checking for gdal-config... no
configure: error: *** couldn't find gdal-config
------------------

the options that I've used for the compilation are:

a) --with-proj-includes
b) --with-proj-libs
c)  --with-proj-share
d) --with-gdal

I'm not sure if something is being missed out. If you are aware of anything
else that might have gone wrong, then let me know. I use --with-gdal to
point to the correct gdal-config file but I still get the message "couldn't
find gdal-config".
