>From the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa
Somehow the instructions are confusing as they contain instructions to use the gwibber-daily ppa, but you should use the ubuntugis ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gdal now depending on your ubuntu version, you may nee to install either ubuntugis-stable (ok for oneiric) or ubuntugis-unstable (for Precise) By the way, this discussion should be in the ubuntugis mailing list as it refers to installing gdal on ubuntu.
