    I got the source package for the gdal version I'm currently using. 
Then I modified debian/rules to point to the appropriate locations for
ECW, FileGDB, and MrSID.  I ran debuild and twenty-something minutes
later it spit out these errors and failed:

    I don't know what caused the warnings because libltidsdk.so and
liblti_lidar_dsdk.so both exist where I pointed debian/rules.  I have no
idea what the error about
libNCSEcwC.so.0 even means.
