Django 4.1.5 on M1 Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261) failing to detect gdal installation even when enumerated per the documentation. Is this a version error or a pointer error? I don't really understand what could cause this. According to the django docs, this newer version of gdal is not compatible with django. Would that cause it to fail to be detected?
