[gdal-dev] Python bindings

[Roger André]

Had a similar problem in the past that I resolved like this:

$ gdalinfo --formats
gdalinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

--> Is the lib acessible outside of gdal?
$ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep gdal

-->nuffin...  Let's try adding the path to libgdal.so.1 in /etc/ld.so.conf

$ find /usr -name libgdal.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1

$ sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf
--> add
/usr/local/lib

$ ldconfig

$ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep gdal
	libgdal.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1
	libgdal.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so
