Hello Roger, 

thanks four your fast response. gdal is also installed from rpm

$ rpm -q gdal gdal-devel
gdal-1.4.2-2.fc7
gdal-devel-1.4.2-2.fc7

ldd tells me that /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1 is linked against the liblapack from atlas:

$ ldd /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1 | grep lapack
liblapack.so.3 => /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3 (0x67e0f000)

And yes, gdalinfo and ogrinfo seem to work from the command line, at
least for some sample files (I'm just starting to use these tools and
have not tested them with every driver).

So I'll have to build everything manually, I guess ...
