[gdal-dev] Installing GDAL with GEOS and Python Bindings on Ubuntu Linux Natty Narwhal 11.04

[Anton Korosov]

Hi
first install geos library using Ubuntu software center (libgeos, 
libgeos-dev)
then download gdal source and configure it:
./configure --with-python -with-geos=yes
then
make
sudo make install

If that doesn't work give me a sign, I'll publish more detailed 
instructions.

Good luck!
Anton

ps. I have Natty, Python 2.7 and GDAL with support of HDF4 and  GEOS. 
Everything works perfect.
