Ray,

(Please reply via the list since others may be able to help solve your 
problem, or may be interested in the solution to your problem.)

The link http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/ms-401-configure.tar.gz is up, 
or at least it works for me.

Looking at the configure output above it seems that you have a version 
that includes the right fix.

BTW, the following error...

 > checking for OGRRegisterAll in -lgdal... no

suggests that either libgdal.so in not compiled with OGR (it should be 
by default), or you didn't 'make install' to install GDAL, or there is 
no libgdal.so in /usr/local/lib ... can you check that you have 
libgdal.so somewhere and that OGR is enabled?

Oh wait... I see that libtiff was found in -L/usr/local/lib64 ... are 
you running a 64 bits linux box?  Maybe there is something specific to 
detecting GDAL/OGR on 64 bits Linux systems that's not properly handled yet.
