[GRASS-dev] Error when compiling using homebrew - says liblas but is gdal???

Mac OS X Yosemite, homebrew recipe.

The config.log says:

So the error is somewhere in the config logic and gdal?

gdal is installed - but /usr/local/Cellar/gdal/1.11.2_2

The installation works when I install without liblas.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

The configure script runs "liblas-config --libs" to obtain the
libraries. liblas-config is saying that it needs
/usr/local/Cellar/gdal/1.11.1_2/lib/libgdal.dylib but the linker
complains that the file doesn't exist.

It may be that libLAS was built against a GDAL library which has since
been removed. In which case, you need to either restore that library
or re-build libLAS to use and existing version of GDAL (or without
GDAL; the dependency is optional).

You are spot on! Great. Thanks a lot.

This solved the problem. I will add this to the test and to the WIKI
page.
