I just finished compiling and installing gdal from source in Cygwin. The utilities like "gdal_translate" and "gdalinfo" seem to be working fne, but I'm, having trouble with the Python API. For example, when I try to run "gdal_merge.py", I get the following error:
<br><br>$ gdal_merge.py <br>Traceback (most recent call last):<br> File "/usr/local/bin/gdal_merge.py", line 110, in <module><br> import gdal<br> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gdal.py", line 191, in <module>
<br> import _gdal<br>ImportError: No module named _gdal<br><br>When I trace this a bit further online, I see references to needing a "gdal.so", but I don't know where it should be, or how to get it.<br><br>
Can someone advise me?<br><br>Thanks.<br>--<br>
