I'm having issues with installing GDAL on a fresh install of Centos7 using the ELGIS repo. Here's my commands and output:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://elgis.argeo.org/repos/6/elgis-release-6-6_0.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y gdal

Here are the console errors:

Is there another repo I need to install to make this work?

ELGIS requires EPEL (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse for EPEL).

However I'm not sure that you really want to use ELGIS 6 on CentOS 7. Its intended for RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 / Scientific Linux 6.

Instead, you probably just want to use EPEL for CentOS 7 for something like GDAL. EPEL 7 has GDAL 1.11.0, which isn't quite the latest, but is certainly more current than the 1.9.2 that are you trying to install.

  • thanks for the response. this worked. GDAL is in the EPEL repo for CentOS so the ELGIS repo is not necessary.

    It was enough to yum install epel-release and then yum install gdal in my case.

  • sudo yum deplist gdal | awk '/provider:/ {print $2}' | sort -u | sudo xargs yum -y install

For those who are new to EPEL, first you have to install EPEL. You can enable it for good, depens on you :)

yum -y install epel-release
yum install --enablerepo=epel gdal

If it is not regular yum repo, I search the internet "centos 7 'libraryname'" and if its on EPEL, the result usually poppes out. Or I visit EPEL repo and search here, usually their lib names are shortcuted. Also you can search the repo in the command line.

  • It works, but it installs a very old version of GDAL: GDAL 1.7.3, released 2010/11/10

  • It is the default Amazon Linux distribution, which should be based on a quite new version of CentOS.
