Hi Chris, I would not advise changing the configuration file.
If you have a full installation of Oracle in your system you probably have a ORACLE_HOME environment variable, so if you run: $ ./configure ... checking for Oracle OCI headers in /oracle/path/... yes checking for Oracle OCI libraries in /oracle/path/lib... yes checking if Oracle OCI version is >= 8.1.7 ... yes checking for Oracle version >= 10.x to use -lnnz10 flag... yes checking if Oracle support is enabled... yes ... OCI support: yes GEORASTER support: yes ... If you don't have ORACLE_HOME you can pass the path using $ ./configure --with-oci=/oracle/path/... Now, you system is CentOS and I have never build GDAL on it but I would guess that it doesn't have Expat installed yet. My Linux does, so configure finds it: checking for XML_ParserCreate in -lexpat... yes checking for Expat XML Parser headers in /usr/include... found checking for Expat XML Parser... yes My suggestion is to isolate the problem by running ./configure, make and gdalinfo without Expat once and then make clean, ./configure, make and gdalinfo without OCI, ex: % ./configure --with-expat=NO % ./configure --with-OCI=NO Configure will setup your makefiles, then you run make based on those new settings. Good luck.
