I'm drafting up some build instructions for PostGIS 2.1 (beta3) on

However, I'm running into some linking problems related to "gdal-config 
--dep-libs" that don't happen with PostGIS 2.0.3 on the same system 
(which does not appear to call "gdal-config --dep-libs"). It seems that 
the GDAL library linking flags don't work as expected with the gdal-dev 
package, which I've submitted here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ source/gdal/ bug/1194082

I'm no linking expert, but does raster2pgsql now require linking to 
GDAL's dependencies? It does not appear to require these With PostGIS 
2.0, e.g.

Hi Mike -

  I do not have the asnwer to all challenges here, but I do want to 
make you aware of a recent development. There is a package repository 
for Ubuntu, called UbuntuGIS (based on DebianGIS, but slightly 
different)  In order to install a full suite of OSGeo.org tools, a 
Google Summer of Code student, '''jlarouche''' has completed a number 
of new packages (we are now using them on the upcoming OSGeo Live 7.0)

  In particular, I call your attention to  '''libgdal1h''' from 
UbuntuGIS-unstable. I *strongly encourage* those interested in 
packaging and documentation to consider this the new standard for 
building the Ubuntu GIS tool set, including PostGIS 2.x. This is new 
work, but testing has shown good results. I am not by any means a 
packaging expert, but I wanted to let you know about this, so the 
community can work through the remaining issues.

  in order to add UbuntuGIS-unstable to your repoisitories, you can 
add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu  main
