I finally got the problem: there was a mistake within my /etc/ld.so.conf.d file that linked the libgdal library into the system.
For the record, my mistake was to put the full path to the file plus the filename: $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gdal.conf /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1 I resolved the problem simply by modifying /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gdal.conf to /usr/local/lib, and ldconfig as su.
