Dear all,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><br>It's the first time I send to this mailing list questions.

<div class="im">
but when I use "sudo apt-get update" to update my repository and I get the error like:<br>

</div>
Is it because of this problem that I cannot install?<br><br>So, should I update my system to 12.04 to be able to install these packages? I am a PhD student in geoscience and not a developer. So I don't actually know what exactly I need in terms of GIS analysis in the future. currently I tried to extract from a global NetCDF file some data by a polygon in another shapefile and that's why I begin to have a look of GDAL. I checked on line that 12.04 use python 2.7.3. For now I have numpy, matplotlib, basemap, pandas, NetCDF4 python libraries on my computer. I just hope I don't spend another few days fixing python libraries problems after I upgrade the system.... <br>

<br><br>From the instructions at<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntugis/+archive/ppa" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa</a><br>
<br>
Somehow the instructions are confusing as they contain instructions to<br>
use the gwibber-daily ppa, but you should use the ubuntugis ppa<br>
<br>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
sudo apt-get install gdal<br>
<br>
now depending on your ubuntu version, you may nee to install either<br>
ubuntugis-stable (ok for oneiric) or ubuntugis-unstable (for Precise)<br>
<br>
By the way, this discussion should be in the ubuntugis mailing list as<br>
it refers to installing gdal on ubuntu.<br>
