[gdal-dev] Python (2.6.5) GDAL module will not install with easy_install

Tue May 11 15:57:48 EDT 2010

There is really no reason to remove the 1.7.2 you've built.  If you're
going to install in the same location then all will be overwritten, if
you install in a new location then it might be best to cleanup the
unused stuff.  I think you can do 'make uninstall' as well.

Cheers,
Brice
