[Qgis-user] Problem with GdalTools and python-gdal 1.9 on ubuntu 10:04

[Agustin Lobo]

I found the reason and the fix:
I had several old (2010)  libgdal* files (including libgdal.so.*) in
/usr/local/lib masking the new ones in /usr/lib
Deleting (actually moving them to another directory just in case) the
ones in /usr/local/lib
makes a clean start up of qgis.
