First of all we add the EPEL and ELGIS (Enterprise Linux GIS) repository to our repostory list.
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://elgis.argeo.org/repos/6/elgis-release-6-6_0.noarch.rpm
It seems that EPEL broke the compatibility with GDAL.
Take a look at http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1407521448.20899.9.camel@asus-laptop-03.gunduz.org.
Error: Package: gdal-1.9.2-4.el6.x86_64 (elgis)
Requires: libarmadillo.so.3()(64bit)
Error: Package: gdal-libs-1.9.2-4.el6.x86_64 (elgis)
Requires: libarmadillo.so.3()(64bit)
We need to exclude the armadillo package from the EPEL repository.
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
[epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 exclude=armadillo*
Let us just try to get the corret rpm package using this link http://proj.badc.rl.ac.uk/cedaservices/ticket/670 provided by the JASMIN analysis platform.
wget http://proj.badc.rl.ac.uk/cedaservices/raw-attachment/ticket/670/armadillo-3.800.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
yum install armadillo-3.800.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
It should recognize the blas dependency.
Installing: armadillo x86_64 3.800.2-1.el6 /armadillo-3.800.2-1.el6.x86_64 40 k Installing for dependencies: blas x86_64 3.2.1-4.el6 base 321 k
After that yum install gdal should work like a charme.
We also need hdf5 package so we need to install it, too.
yum install hdf5.so.6

Worked like a charm the first time. Thanks for this note.
