[gdal-dev] Pip install: error: 'VSILFILE' was not declared

[Nicholas Williams]

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. I ran this:

apt-get install -y autoconf automake libtool make g++ gdal-bin
libgdal1-1.7.0 libgdal1-dev python-gdal

That installed GDAL 1.7.3.

Then I ran this:

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal

Then I `pip install`-ed a requirements.txt file with this in it:

https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/G/GDAL/GDAL-1.7.1.tar.gz#md5=38b838d528b309a28a3aa24d4fcef3cd

First I tried it without the two exports above and got these errors:

fatal error: cpl_port.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated

I quickly found on Google that I needed those two exports to solve that
problem. So I tried it with the two exports, and that solved that fatal
error, but it revealed a whole new problem (the output was very long, so I
truncated all the repetitive stuff off; I can supply full output on
request):

Googling those errors, I also find solutions that say I need to use the two
exports above, but given that I AM using those exports, and that it solved
my earlier fatal error, I'm guessing that's not the problem here.

I've tried instead pip installing GDAL-1.9.1.tar.gz and GDAL-2.0.1.tar, but
those just fail earlier with different fatal errors. I'm under the
impression here that I need to match the Python GDAL library version with
the libgdal and python-gdal versions, so I think GDAL-1.7.1.tar.gz is
right. But I can't get the requirement to successfully install.

Help?

Thanks,

Nick
