Eureka! config.log, I never knew such a thing existed! (big newbie mistake I
guess)...anyways here are the lines in the config.log


configure:7647: gcc -o conftest -g -O2
 conftest.c -lgdal   -lm -lstdc++  -L/usr/local/lib -lgdal >&5
ld: warning: file libpq.so.3: required by /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so, not
found
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file

couldn't find libpq.so.3, which is located in /opt/pgsql/lib, I added this
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and configure runs to completion! Thanks all your help,
and for sticking with this problem Daniel

Ray,
