Dear GDAL users,<br><br>My apologies if this is a repeated question, I searched the mail acrhives and found a few discussions on this subject, but no resolution, AFAIK. I may have overlooked a good thread, would appreciate a link.<br>
<br>My problem is being able to do scripting with GDAL using Python 2.5 (this version is important because of integration/compatibility with a number of other packages, mainly IPython), and I need to be able to do it on Windows. I attempted a few approaches, but could not figure out how to get all the pieces to work together:<br>
- FWTools 2.4.5; however it comes with Python 2.3, an older version<br> - OSGEO4W<br> - Went through the Express setup and chose GDAL (+ GRASS, QGIS).It installed Python 2.5.2; however on "import gdal" I get error "No module named gdal". <br>
- I looked through the Advanced setup and tried it a few times with various options related to GDAL, however was not able to get it to work. Are there specific options that should be enabled to make GDAL/Python scripting possible in OSGEO4W? <br>
- Tried to "easy_install gdal", this finds GDAL 1.6.1 and puts a suitable *.egg into C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages. But when I try to "import gdal" I get the error stating that gdal16.dll was not found.<br>
<br>Is there a way to achieve this on Windows? Do I need to compile GDAL on my windows box; if so, should I be using Cygwin or try to download MS VC++? <br><br>Thank you<br><br>Aleksey<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
