This has become a very strange issue. This afternoon I attempted 8 variations
on the compilation and all failed. The first thing I did was to check on the
GDAL version and although it wasn't easy, it turns out that the conda
installation from several weeks ago used GDAL 2.4... The GRASS version was the
7.7 version. So, I changed the subdirectory to the 3.0.4 GDAL version:
/usr/include/gdal-config and the /usr/share/gdal subdirectories. But those
failed too although I used the grass-7.8.5RC1 file. I also checked my logs and
made sure I used the dnf install text for all the required software. I also
tried the "--with-gdal --with-gdal-includes=/usr/include/gdal" configuration.
All my attempts bombed.
It was interesting that dnf install noted that GDAL and GDAL-devel were the
most recent and already on my file system. There are two additional tasks to do
now. The first is to discover whether the GDAL and GDAL-devel version 3.0.4
version is the one to use for the compilation. Is it the most up-to-date? The
other task is attempt to dig into other log files to determine if there is
additional information.
After that I plan to remove all GRASS versions and related libraries if I can
find them. I know I have two GRASS versions: 7.7 and 7.8.5 so perhaps there's a
conflict hidden in the configuration. My other question revolves around
gdal-config. There are two versions of gdal-config: one simply called
"gdal-config" and the other called "gdal-config64" This machine (and all my
networked machines) are x86_64 architecture. Is the configure script attempting
to use one or the other and defaulting to the "Error: cannot find gdal-config"
option. This type of thing has happened to me before and error messages can be
notoriously difficult to understand.
Any other suggestions would be gladly entertained or even grasped or even
prayed for!!
