[Qgis-user] Mac OSX - ImportError: No module named gdal

[William Kyngesburye]

The readme on the binary distribution has what you're looking for - the GDAL path in the GdalTools settings also needs /usr/bin:

Select GdalTools Settings from the Raster menu  (If you don't have the Raster menu, you need to enable the GdalTools plugin with the Plugin Manager). Enter the following for the GDAL path:

/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs:/usr/bin


Though when I think about it, that was for when Python is not found at all from external scripts.  Your error says a module is not found.  Python obviously is running, but maybe the wrong one...  see if /usr/bin fixes it for now.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
