What is libidn.so?

Description

Hello:

When running gmake on GDAL-1.5.2 on Linux 2.6.9-78 SMP x86_64, gcc/g++ 3.4.6, received the error message:

/usr/lib/libidn.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

What is libidn.so? What is it used for? Is there a way to compile GDAL-1.5.2 without it? Will compiling GDAL without libidn.so render GDAL useless?

---Thanks for your help

Are you sure that /usr/lib/libidn.so is a 64 bit library, and not a 32 bit one ?

Yes, it is 32 bit. We discovered this long after I opened this ticket.

Sorry I did not subsequently close this ticket.

Thanx Tony Conrad
