[postgis-devel] PostGIS 2.1.0beta3 build issues on Ubuntu 13.04

[Bborie Park]

Hey Mike,

raster2pgsql requires whatever GDAL requires. That is how linking
works. Since raster2pgsql requires GDAL, libtool pulls in everything
that GDAL requires.

Having said that, I've found that these GDAL dependencies are not
"hard" dependencies (in that raster2pgsql will NOT complain if a GDAL
of same version was compiled differently). Swapping out minimal GDAL
vs bloated GDAL versions did not affect raster2pgsql.
