Link error building gdal on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.4 gdal-1.7.1

[firani41]

I am a first time user following the build instructions I found at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnix:

% cd gdal % ./configure % make % su Password: # make install # exit

I first ran configure and then make. make builds the object libraries up until it quits with the error:

g++: /usr/lib/libidn.so: No such file or directory make[1]: * [libgdal.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/firani/USGS/gdal/gdal-1.7.1

Can you give me a clue as to what may be missing on my system?

The tail end of the stdout is as follows:
