I recall some problems with _something_ that GDAL used that Xastir also used, and we had to change our link lines to force a certain order of linking to fix it. I can't recall which library it was now that did it, but could have been proj, libgeotiff, shapelib, or something else. I also seem to remember that GDAL _could_ use external libraries if installed rather than its internal libraries. Perhaps Shapelib is not one of those though. Doesn't really matter to us I guess unless we run into version/linking issues. -- Curt, WE7U.
