Zhonghai,

A lot depends on how things are built.  the .py scripts are python scripts
and depend on having things built with proper Python support.  The gdal-config
script is a bash script and only available on unix and unix-like systems.
Perhaps you are on windows, and don't have Python on your system (or perhaps
not enabled in your GDAL build)?

Best regards,
