Error while installing GDAL
On my MacBook, the update/fresh install of GDAL using this approach with homebrew worked out fine. The problem on my Mac was that I apparently had an old GDAL version installed and wasn't able to update with brew upgrade gdal
because of the above error message.
Solution in short:
brew unlink gdal
brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac && brew tap --repair
brew install jasper netcdf # gdal dependencies
brew install gdal2 --with-armadillo --with-complete --with-libkml --with-unsupported
brew link --force gdal2
Verification:
$> gdal-config --version
2.1.3
$> gdal-config --libs
-L/usr/local/Cellar/gdal2/2.1.3_3/lib -lgdal
$> gdal-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/Cellar/gdal2/2.1.3_3/include
I had to include the header files as well to successfully install gdal:
sudo pip3 install GDAL==$(gdal-config --version | awk -F'[.]' '{print $1"."$2}') --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/gdal"
Note: Using Python 3 and gdal was already installed on centOS
pip install GDAL==$(gdal-config --version | awk -F'[.]' '{print $1"."$2}')
This is a copy-paste of this comment by nicerobot, that at this time received more up votes than all currently posted answers combined.
As far as I can tell, it asks pip to install the pip package of the same version as the installed gdal system package.
Check that you installed GDAL using this command
gdal-config --version
Then run this commands:
pip download="some_path" GDAL
cd some_path
tar -xvzf GDAL-<version>.tar.gz
cd GDAL-<version>
python setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/usr/include/gdal/
python setup.py install
