 GDAL has been successfully built on Linux, IRIX, Solaris, BSD, and MacOS X.  On Unix platforms you might be able to build it as follows (assuming it is unpacked or checked out of subversion as gdal):

  * If you find build problems with one of the format drivers that you don't care about, just remove the format from the GDAL_FORMATS line at the bottom of gdal/GDALmake.opt, do a ''make clean'', and ''make''.  This will drop it from the build and default runtime registration. 
 
- * If you are trying to install as other than root (to your own tree set with --prefix) you will likely have problems with the python since it always tries to install under the site-packages directory for the installed python tree.  If you don't need python support you can suppress it at configure using --without-python, or override the python module output directory at configure time with the --with-pymodir='''directory'''

  * Static builds of GDAL are possible.  Here is one route that worked for me on Ubuntu 10.04 at about revision 23504 (you may want to take caution and figure out if there is a better way).  This example has java and mdb but shouldn't be required.  openjdk-6-jre and openjdk-6-jdk must be installed if you want --with-java.  ./configure --with-java=yes --with-mdb=yes --without-ld-shared --disable-shared --enable-static.  Then copy just /usr/bin/ogrinfo and ogr2ogr to another machine with similar environment (minus compiling tools, etc), follow [http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_mdb.html mdb format page] if you are using mdb.
