[Gdal-dev] Problem using gdal.py

[Kevin Ruland]

Paul,

The 'import _gdal' line in gdal.py is actually trying to import the
shared object library _gdal.so.  You'll need to compile and install
that.  In order to install the new bindings, cd swig/python in the gdal
source directory and do "make install".  This will build and install
everything.
