Perhaps try setting the environment variable GDAL_DRIVER_PATH to

Ok, that finally did the trick. Thanks for your help.

$ export GDAL_DRIVER_PATH=/usr/lib/gdal17plugins

Is this normally set as part of the install? (e.g. should I report a
packaging bug?)

Matt,

No, this is not normally set for prepackaged GDAL's on linux.  On linux
GDAL defaults to looking in /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins.  It is possible
to set the GDAL_PREFIX to change the default from /usr/local to /usr for
instance, but this is not apparently something the makefiles help with
as far as I can see.

Note that in 1.9 (aka trunk) GDAL now looks in /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins/1.9
before looking in /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins so embedding the version in
the directory name is no longer needed.

Best regards,
