This looks very much like you have a system-wide gdal installation and
a custom gdal installation in /home/rcooper/grass7/. It is nearly
impossible to have two different gdal installations on the same
system. gdal needs to be installed in a standard location such as
/usr/ or /usr/local/. If not, you should read first the manuals of
your compiler and your linker, before you 1) attempt to install gdal
in a non-standard location, 2) compile other software against gdal in
a non-standard location.

You should remove the gdal installation in /home/rcooper/grass7/ and
use the system-wide gdal installation.
