On newer Ubuntu releases /usr/local/lib is not in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Either set it in your login script (export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH or add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf
If you do the latter method, run sudo ldconfig after you are done and it should work. -----Original Message----- From: gdal-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:gdal-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Stuart Edwards Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 9:33 AM To: Even Rouault Cc: gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [gdal-dev] compiling gdal on Ubuntu via Parallels On Feb 22, 2012, at 10:16 AM, Even Rouault wrote: > Selon Stuart Edwards <sedwar...@cinci.rr.com>: > >> Hi >> >> This seems to be an old problem (see >> http://www.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2009-October/022308.html) but >> when I try to compile GDAL 1.9.0 from source using Ubuntu 10.04 >> through Parallels Desktop 6.0.12106 on OS X 10.6.8 (don't ask why >> this convoluted approach - long ESRI related story) I get the following >> message during 'make': >> >> ar: /usr/local/gdal/frmts/o/aaigriddataset.o: No such file or directory. >> >> and indeed, >> >> ls /usr/local/gdal/frmts/o >> >> produces a listing for aaigriddataset.lo , but unlike the other files >> in the directory, no corresponding aaigriddataset.o > > Perhaps try ./configure --without-libtool .
