Sandor,

It is trying to execute the path you gave as if it were the gdal-config
script.  Is /home/emla/lib/gdal a build directory, or an install directory?
If you installed GDAL you should be able to find a bin/gdal-config script
in the install tree.  Use that as the argument to --with-gdal.  If you didn't
install GDAL then give /home/emla/lib/gdal/apps/gdal-config as the argument
to the --with-gdal option.

Good luck,
