I'm trying to use Python GDAL bindings. When naively installing bindings through pip, installation fails with error: 'VSIFTruncateL' was not declared in this scope, probably due to a mismatch of the installed headers and the python bindings version. The proposed solution elsewhere is to install the exact same version through pip. However, my system has gdal-1.7.3
, and there are no 1.7.3 bindings. Installing 1.7.1 bindings leads to successful compilation, but attempting to run leads to undefined symbol: GDALRasterBandGetVirtualMem
. Therefore, I installed 1.11.1 from source and compiled the latest bindings against it. Compilation and installation appears to work, but importing does not:
In [2]: import osgeo

I'm at a loss now. What else can I try to use gdal
and its Python bindings?
