Hi Philip.
I installed the 2.5.4 binary from the python.org site. I did this
because NumPy and SciPy currently only work with 2.5 and the system
version was 2.4.
It looks like you're using the same Python at the command line as the
Python to which you installed GDAL. There shouldn't be anything else
you have to do once easy-install is complete.
As Miles pointed out, you should probably try this:
from osgeo import gdal
instead of this:
import gdal
Although I gather the latter should work based on the documentation
here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GdalOgrInPython#imports
I can't see what went wrong with your installation.
You can try an uninstall and reinstall. (`easy_install -m GDAL` might
do the uninstall for you.) If you're feeling adventurous, you can try
to unwind the installation by hand. Edit easy-install.pth and delete
the line that refers to GDAL, and then blow away the GDAL directory in
site-packages.
I see that you originally ran the easy_install from the directory '/
Library/Python/2.5/site-packages'. Don't do that. I don't have a
logical reason for why, but Python given that the current directory is
part of Python's import search path, you might be giving easy_install
a different "environment" than your regular Python session. It's just
a shot in the dark, but worth a try.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi John,
Are you using the system Python or have you installed another version?

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

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.
