Dear GDAL users,
My apologies if this is a repeated question, I searched the mail acrhives
and found a few discussions on this subject, but no resolution, AFAIK. I may
have overlooked a good thread, would appreciate a link.
My problem is being able to do scripting with GDAL using Python 2.5 (this
version is important because of integration/compatibility with a number of
other packages, mainly IPython), and I need to be able to do it on Windows.
I attempted a few approaches, but could not figure out how to get all the
pieces to work together:
- FWTools 2.4.5; however it comes with Python 2.3, an older version
- OSGEO4W
- Went through the Express setup and chose GDAL (+ GRASS, QGIS).It
installed Python 2.5.2; however on "import gdal" I get error "No module
named gdal".
- I looked through the Advanced setup and tried it a few times with
various options related to GDAL, however was not able to get it to work. Are
there specific options that should be enabled to make GDAL/Python scripting
possible in OSGEO4W?
- Tried to "easy_install gdal", this finds GDAL 1.6.1 and puts a suitable
*.egg into C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages. But when I try to "import gdal" I
get the error stating that gdal16.dll was not found.
Is there a way to achieve this on Windows? Do I need to compile GDAL on my
windows box; if so, should I be using Cygwin or try to download MS VC++?
Thank you
Aleksey
