Luis,

The problem is that the libgdal.so.1 file can't be found.  Did you use a
GDAL package or compile your own?  If you're using a GDAL package
through ubuntu or debian, the gdal libraries having their version number
attached to the filename causing problems.

You should search the list for the last few months as people have had
issues with GDAL provided by debian (and derived distros).  I forget
what the resolution was but I know that one was found.
