Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm getting a new machine setup and have hit a snag with the GDAL<br>
installation. I've installed GDAL from source onto a CentOS box using the<br>
gdal-1.5.2.tar.gz file, and with the following parameters:<br>
<br>
$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/export --with-pg=/export/bin/pg_config<br>
--with-python<br>
$ make<br>
$ make install<br>
$ which gdalinfo<br>
/export/bin/gdalinfo<br>
--> Good!<br>
<br>
The problem comes when I try to import the osgeo module in Python.<br>
<br>
$ python<br>
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:28:55)<br>

from osgeo import gdal<br>

Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?<br>
ImportError: No module named osgeo<br>
--> Not good.<br>
<br>
Looking back through the make output, I see that the osgeo modules are being<br>
created and copied:<br>
copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.3/osgeo/gdal.py -><br>
/export/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/osgeo<br>
<br>
So I tried appending the location to the sys.path in Python to make the<br>
modules available, but am only partially succesful with that:<br>

So I'm guessing that my gdal libs aren't accessible for some reason, but I'm<br>
just guessing. Is there a way that I can fix this at the ./configure stage?<br>

It looks like path where gdal library was installed is not available to loader.<br>
<br>
Try this:<br>
<br>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dir/with/libgdal.so<br>
<br>
