[postgis-users] How configure postgis to enable the rasters.

[Bborie Park]

Adding /usr/local/lib to PYTHONPATH won't help much since python knowns 
where the GDAL python module but can't find the GDAL library itself.

Is /usr/local/lib in the linker path?  You may want to check 
/etc/ld.so.conf to see if /usr/local/lib is in there.  If not, add 
/usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig.  BUT, this may 
not be the best solution as you are running a 64-bit linux system.

Since it looks like you compiled your own GDAL, you should reconfigure 
and recompile GDAL with something like:

./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 OTHER_CONFIG_FLAGS

Reconfiguring and recompiling GDAL should work as I'm guessing that 
/usr/local/lib64 is in /etc/ld.so.conf but /usr/local/lib isn't.
