[postgis-devel] wktraster with python bindings and gdal2wktraster.py

[Jeff Hamann]

I'm trying to get the latest wktraster into an experimental software  
application and 'm not sure I'm posting to the correct place since it  
seems to be that I'm build an dev version of GDAL/OGR. Am I posting to  
the correct place?

I'm having a bit of trouble installing the wktraster project (svn  
version 63) from the repository:

\begin{verbatim}
$ svn co http://www.gis4free.org/gdal_wktraster gdal-1.70dev
$ cd gdal-1.70dev
$ ./configure --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.4.0svn/ --with-macosx- 
framework --with-python
$ make
\end{verbatim}

which ALMOST makes it (I think)...

ld: warning in ../../.libs/libgdal.dylib, file is not of required  
architecture
You have new mail in /var/mail/hamannj
macbook:gdal-1.70dev hamannj$ sudo make install

yields,

   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ 
Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 98, in  
entries_finder
     log.warn("unrecognized .svn/entries format in %s", dirname)
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined
make[2]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make: *** [install-actions] Error 2
macbook:gdal-1.7.0dev hamannj$

It builds without the python bindings, but I need them to be able to  
use the gdal2wktraster.py script, right?

I'm not versed at all in things python, but when I've tried to run the  
gdal2wktraster.py script, I get the following results:

macbook:bin hamannj$ gdal2wktraster.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./gdal2wktraster.py", line 32, in <module>
     from osgeo import gdal
ImportError: No module named osgeo
macbook:bin hamannj$

which means that I need to add/create/modify a PYTHONPATH variable  
somewhere?

Am I getting close?

Thanks,
Jeff.
