I am getting the error message: "OGRException: Could not register all the OGR data source drivers!" (See the traceback below.) I also see this traceback trying to use the DataSource example (importing a zipcode shapefile). The test_geos.run() tests all pass. I can run ogrinfo from the command line and it finds its libraries.
I'd be grateful for any ideas about what I might have done wrong. I will also append the detailed instructions I saved (based on the GeoDjango installation page, which was very helpful getting through the initial installation.
