Hi.

I'm a newbie to python and am running:

OS X 10.5.6
Python 2.5.4

and have run easy_install for gdal like this:

/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages>sudo easy_install GDAL
Password:
Searching for GDAL
Best match: GDAL 1.6.0
Processing GDAL-1.6.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg
GDAL 1.6.0 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

Using /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/GDAL-1.6.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5- i386.egg
Processing dependencies for GDAL
Finished processing dependencies for GDAL

However, when I run python and try to import gdal, this is what happens:

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67917, Dec 23 2008, 14:57:27)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gdal
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gdal
>>>

Clearly, it's not being found but I don't understand how to debug this any further. I have the *.egg in the site-packages directory but don't understand if there is something else I have to do to make it usable. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
