There are similar themed questions for other platforms, but the solutions out there do not work for me.

(e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11336153/python-gdal-package-missing-header-file-when-installing-via-pip)

I am using a virtualenv to have a user-space implementation of python on a RHEL GNU/Linux server.

I have installed lots of favourite packages into my local python directory with little problem, using pip.

pip install gdal, on the other hand, fails, with many missing header file errors.

I have tried

pip install --no-install gdal

followed by navigating to (my python path)/build/GDAL and then

python setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/usr/include/gdal

but that fails with lots of other errors:

I've also tried editing setup.cfg to put

gdal_config =/usr/bin/gdal-config near the top, and then running pip install --no-download GDAL

but that failed as well, with the original header file failures:

My guess is that the gdal-dev version you have is outdated and that the version of python binding you got in pip is not compatible any more. I accidentally uninstalled python-gdal from RHEL, and unsuccessfully tried to install gdal with pip today. The first error I got was

extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp:3373: error: ‘CPLGetErrorHandlerUserData’ was not declared in this scope
extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp: In function ‘CPLErr PushErrorHandler(void (*)(CPLErr, int, const char*), void*)’:

which is the same you got near the beginning. I downloaded gdal v1.10.1 source today, and I grepped CPLGetErrorHanlerUserData, and found it in include/cpl_error.h, and not in the file in version 1.8.1 I had. After I compiled gdal 1.10.1, installed it and rerun pip install gdal. It gave a bit of warning but installed successfully.

  • Similar solution here: installed gdal-dev via apt-get. Afterwards pip install gdal failed with a similar message. apt-get installed version 1.11.something. After manually installing gdal library version 2.0.1 from source pip install gdal succeeded

are you sure that you have installed the development files for gdal on your system, i.e. gdal-devel? If not, run yum install gdal-devel and then try to run pip install osgeo in your virtualenv.

Edit:

Based on my comment below, I replicated the steps from the link below on Debian.

  1. Create the virtual env

    virtualenv gdalenv

  2. Activate the virtualenv

    source bin/activate

  3. Download GDAL without installing

    pip install --no-install GDAL

  4. Change directory

    cd build/GDAL

  5. Run setup.py with user specific settings (n.b. edit paths as required)

    python setup.py build_ext --gdal-config=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --include-dirs=/usr/local/include/ --library-dirs=/usr/local/lib/

  6. Run installation

    pip install --no-download GDAL

  7. check the version and installation location:

    >>>from osgeo import gdal

    gdal.__file__

    /home/dmci/gdalenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/osgeo/gdal.pyc

I hope that the above helps, I suspect you may need to double check the paths to the include and headers during the configuration.

  • Thanks. I edited my question to mention that gdal-devel is there. I tried "pip install osgeo" but get: Downloading/unpacking osgeo Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement osgeo No distributions at all found for osgeo

  • Thanks. That does not seem clear to me. This is very much tailored to Mac/OSX. I'm on RHEL GNU. He says "Note that I assume you have Williams frameworks and xcode / compilation toolchain in place." and he includes things that are not on my system. "locate GDAL.framework" gives me nothing. Williams' site is for OSX.

  • Thanks for the edits. I do not know what to put in that setup line; sorry! My best guess is this: "python setup.py build_ext --gdal-config=/usr/bin/gdal-config --include-dirs=/usr/include/ --library-dirs=/usr/lib64/" but that doesn't work. I've tried using "locate" to find out where things might be, but I'm asking for help with the RHEL6 case, since I do not know how to find out. My first error with this revision is "extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp:2853:22: error: cpl_port.h: No such file or directory ". "locate" says that it exists here: /usr/include/gdal/cpl_port.h
    – CPBL
    Oct 27, 2013 at 16:55
  • If locate says that it exists in /usr/include/gdal/ then you should update your setup command as follows: python setup.py --gdal-config=/usr/bin/gdal-config --include-dirs=/usr/include/gdal --library-dirs=/.... hope that solves it?
