Thanks Etienne, then I guess I will have the problem of python version? I guess I will need a virtual python environment (or something) if I need python 3 for newer versions?<br><br>best,<br><br>Chao<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi chao<br>
<br>
you should install gdal using the ubuntugis (stable or unstable)<br>
repository . 1.6.3 is really old, plus you shouldn't install the<br>
debian packages on ubuntu.<br>
<br>
