[Geotools-gt2-users] [GeotTools] Gdal integration?

[Michael S. <spe...@gm...>]

Greetings,
  I am attempting to use a recent version of gdal (1.9.2) with Geotools.  I
have tried using the latest stable (8.4) as well as 9-SNAPSHOT (which I
assume is the latest development version).  Both of these versions give me
the following error when attempting to use gdal:

INFO: GDAL Native Library loaded (version: 1.9.2)

It seems that gdal has changed the function name from *DMD_LONGNAME_get* to
*GDAL_DMD_LONGNAME_get*.

Is there any suggestions on how to work around this problem?  I have read
from the docs that GeoTools should be compatible with gdal 1.4.5 but that's
a fairly out-dated version of gdal released back in dec 2008 (which I
wasn't able to compile due to my system libraries are not compatible).

Thanks
