[Qgis-user] Problem with GdalTools and python-gdal 1.9 on ubuntu 10:04

[Agustin Lobo]

Using qgis 1.8 on ubuntu 10.04
I've upgraded to python-gdal 1.9 and the GdalTools plugin and some others
complain at qgis start-up:


Couldn't load plugin openlayers due an error when calling its
classFactory() method

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/qgis/utils.py", line 164, in

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/osgeo/_gdal.so: symbol
VSIFTruncateL, version GDAL_1.8 not defined in file libgdal.so.1 with
link time reference

Python version:
2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 14:15:55)
[GCC 4.4.3]

I had circumvented this issue by forcin python-gdal 1.8, but this
version is no longer available.

Any solution to this problem?

Thanks
