hmmm, Jeff, how are you getting an egg?  From what I can understand of the makefiles, it doesn't install an egg by default, and you have to make that separately with "make egg", and even then I don't know if that will be installed by "make install".

I wonder if you have previously installed the GDAL-python extension by another method (installing the egg), which is then overriding your install from source.  And whichever GDAL it was expecting to find is not present any more.

Do you have this folder:

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/osgeo/
