[Geoserver-devel] Failed to load native GDAL libs

Hello all,

I'm running Geoserver on Win7 64bit, running on Tomcat as a service..
I'm trying to enable the ImageIO-ext GDAL libraries in order to use
some Erdas IMG rasters. When starting GeoServer, I receive the
following warning:

Failed to load the GDAL native libs. This is not a problem unless you
need to use the GDAL plugins: they won't be enabled.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Program Files
(x86)\imageio-ext\gdaljni.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD
64-bit platform.

Is this error to say that GDAL is unable to run on a 64-bit server? As
far as I know, there are no ImageIO-ext libraries for 64-bit, only for
32-bit, so I seem to be kind of stuck right now.

Thanks,

Patrick
