[R-sig-Geo] installing rgdal on Ubuntu 6.10

[Patrick Giraudoux]

Actually, PATH gives the following

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

and gdalinfo --version gives:

giraudoux at giraudoux-laptop:~$ gdalinfo --version
GDAL 1.3.1.0, released 2005/10/04

Going ahead:

$ locate gdalinfo

/usr/bin/gdalinfo
/usr/share/doc/libgdal-doc/gdal/gdalinfo.c.html
/usr/share/doc/libgdal-doc/gdal/gdalinfo.html
/usr/share/man/man1/gdalinfo.1.gz

$ ls gda*
gdaladdo  gdal_contour  gdalinfo  gdaltindex  gdal_translate  gdalwarp

Seems that no gdal-config file is present. However:

$ locate gdal-conf*
/usr/share/doc/libgdal-doc/gdal/gdal-config.html

Which is not what was expected. May I suspect that no real gdal-config 
file has been installed??? Thus would lead to install a newer version 
hopefully more adapted?
