pcraster support in GDAL/OGR 1.7.2 release (1.7.2-5_0.el5.elgis.i386) ?

Fri Oct 15 09:27:18 UTC 2010

Dear epel-devel-list,

I'm a new user of RHEL 5, and while working with the gdal library, I
noticed that the latest stable version of the library, as delivered by
the 

1.7.2-5_0.el5.elgis.i386 package

doesn't support the PCRaster format, what seems strange for me because
in the gdal web page (http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html) PCRaster is
mentioned as supported format, and also the older version (1.6.x)
supported that format.

Does it represent a bug in the 1.7.2-5_0.el5.elgis.i386 package ?

Meanwhile, I tried to compile gdal from source, with:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

but I got the following warnings and error:
