| Aug 19, 2011 at 12:32 | comment | added | fod | thanks so much for your help - that did trick (For the record I got ogr_PG.dll from one of the -sdk archives at vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk --- the regular packages don't have it). | |

| Aug 18, 2011 at 16:46 | comment | added | fod | Ok I have a libpq.dll in both my GDAL folder and in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\osgeo --- but here's something strange I just discovered: If I remove (i.e. uninstall) GDAL but leave the Python bindings in place then I can still get all the drivers I was already getting from the Python shell. So it looks like Python isn't even talking to my system GDAL and the bindings installer is just installing soem of its drivers itself. Also I have no ogr_PG.dll anywhere... | |
| Aug 18, 2011 at 16:30 | comment | added | geographika | @fod also try moving ogr_PG.dll to your PATH | |

| Aug 18, 2011 at 16:16 | comment | added | fod | Unfortunately this is a development server that I've been grudgingly allowed to use by my employers to develop a proof-of-concept application. It has no internet connectivity and I have to jump through a lot of hoops every time I want something added to my stack, so its not easy for me to get, for instance, dependency walker installed. I think you might be onto something with the PostgreSQL version but note that the driver is there and works fine when accessed directly, and only fails to appear when attempting access via the Python bindings. | |
