[gdal-dev] __main__.gdal_config_error when trying to install gdal

[Chao YUE]

Dear all,

I am new to gdal and when I try to install it on my ubuntu computer, I have
the following error. It occurs either with pip or with manual python
setup.py build.
could anyone give me some clue on this problem? thanks in advance.
