I am working on a Debian 7 Wheezy system using Anaconda and working from Spyder. I've had a hard time installing a version of GDAL that reads HDF4 drivers. Could someone walk me through the installation process?

  • Have you tried this approach?

  • I have. I uninstalled GDAL, reinstalled using jakebrinkmann's comments. When I try to read a HDF file data = gdal.Open(hdffilename) I get the error: 'hdffilename not recognised as supported file format"

  • Did you adress the subdataset in hdffilename? HDFs usually consist of multiple subdatasets. GDAL is able to open the subdatasets but not the HDF "container" as a whole. If you can provide an example file we might be able to determine if that's causing your issue.

  • I found that this solution suggested by @Soumya worked in my particular case. Maybe you could try it out?
