Hi everyone,
I'm getting a new machine setup and have hit a snag with the GDAL
installation. I've installed GDAL from source onto a CentOS box using the
gdal-1.5.2.tar.gz file, and with the following parameters:
$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/export --with-pg=/export/bin/pg_config
--with-python
$ make
$ make install
$ which gdalinfo
/export/bin/gdalinfo
--> Good!
The problem comes when I try to import the osgeo module in Python.
$ python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:28:55)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from osgeo import gdal
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named osgeo
--> Not good.
Looking back through the make output, I see that the osgeo modules are being
created and copied:
copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.3/osgeo/gdal.py ->
/export/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/osgeo
So I tried appending the location to the sys.path in Python to make the
modules available, but am only partially succesful with that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:28:55)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import sys
sys.path.append('/export/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/')
import osgeo
--> Good!
from osgeo import gdal
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/export/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/osgeo/gdal.py", line 7, in ?
import _gdal
ImportError: libgdal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
--> Not good.
So I'm guessing that my gdal libs aren't accessible for some reason, but I'm
just guessing. Is there a way that I can fix this at the ./configure stage?
It looks like path where gdal library was installed is not available to
loader.
Try this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dir/with/libgdal.so
