If you are compilling, you need the development libraries, which ill be
in the -dev package, which for edgy is libgdal1-1.3.1-dev.  You will
need the development packages for all libraries, as well as the core
(the meta-package build-essential will pull in the critical packages).


The other way to locate packages is via http://packages.ubuntu.com/,
where you can search the contents of the packages, as well as the list
of packages, across all releases or within a single release.
