[postgis-users] GDAL problems (Kyngesbury GDAL)

[William Kyngesburye]

Is there a crash report in Console.app from when you try to load GDAL python?  It will probably be as python.

It seems to be assuming that the framework is a 'nix lib/include structure, but really the include dir is named "Headers".  Odd that it uses supposedly gdal-config, but doesn't get the -cflags from it that have the correct include dir.

I am using William Kyngesbury's GDAL 1.10 for OS X, and I'm running into crazy errors.  I am following the instructions from here (http://linfiniti.com/2013/02/installing-python-gdal-into-a-python-virtualenv-in-osx/), and this is what happened in my shell.
