New description:
Currently the error message for GDAL and GIS when not locating the
required library is:
'''Could not find the GDAL library (tried "%s"). Is GDAL installed? If it
is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.'''
It's probably better to advise checking the Library Path before setting it
to the project settings file, maybe as a last resort. For many MacOS
homebrew users, the library might be not installed in the default library
PATH (for instance, homebrew installs it to /opt/homebrew/lib/), non
visible library paths in default environment is I think relatively common.
My advise is to print "... If it is, check your environment library path
or try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings."
