I'm trying to install the [GDAL python package][1] on a Mac (OSX Yosemite) with python 2.7.9 and GDAL 1.11.3. When I try $ sudo easy_install GDAL I get a number of errors ending with:

error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

The full error log is below. I was wondering if anyone could point out what the issue(s) may be and how to fix them.

The problem is that with easy_install GDAL, the script try to first install the last version of GDAL (2.0.1) with many errors (answer of Kersten) while what you want are the Python bindings of GDAL 1.11

Therefore, you have to look for and download the Python bindings of GDAL 1.11 and after

CFLAGS=`/path of/gdal-config --cflags` 
LDFLAGS=`/path of /gdal-config --libs
python setup.py install

But, how have you installed GDAL 1.11.3 ? If it is the KyngChaos version (GDAL framework v1.11.3-1), the bindings are in /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.11/Python/2.7/site-packages

And in the Apple Python there is a path file /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gdal-py2.7.pth that points to the precedent folder.

import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.11/Python/2.7/site-packages')

You can copy and move this file to use the bindings in other Python 2.7.x versions (Homebrew, Anaconda, Framework, ...)

If you want to compile GDAL from source you will need to fulfill all its dependencies. Unless you explicitly need to compile it from source I would advise to use a pre-built binary.

On OsX the most popular (and probably easiest) way to install GDAL is via the kyngchaos.com binaries.

Alternatively if you use (Ana)Conda you can also install GDAL binaries through their Conda binary package

There's another way to install GDAL, although, the KyngChaos method is a good and easy one and is my recommendation if you don't use a lot of software packages.

Use Homebrew: http://brew.sh/

One Caveat with OSX is that you should only use ONE way of doing each thing. So use only one package manager (so Brew only).

I install GDAL with brew by using:

brew install gdal

and then I can upgrade it by using:

brew upgrade gdal

Using a package manager means that dependencies are handled properly and simply. And it means upgrading in the future is seamless. Brew has a lot of software available, including quite a lot of specialised tools.

You can install QGIS using Brew too, but because of the paradigm, it'll compile it, which will take a very long time, and i don't recommend it!

Use Anaconda: https://www.anaconda.com

Open up Terminal: conda install gdal
