Hi, I'm afraid you won't be able to set the environment variable this way. GDAL is using getenv() to retrieve the value which operated on a local copy of the variables created when the process is started. By this means the env variable should be set before the process is spawned. > > Is there some code I can write that can tell me what gdal thinks the > GDAL_DATA env var is set to? > You should instead use SetConfigOption or PushFinderLocation (both exposed to the SWIG API) for this purpose.
