The ebuild calls ./configure with --prefix=${D}usr in order to work around the broken build system. However this causes configure to write #define GDAL_PREFIX "${D}usr" to port/cpl_config.h. GDAL uses this define to determine the search path for data files (such as gcs.csv). So if you want to set a srs with an EPSG code, as the following code does, GDAL will fail: import osr srs = osr.SpatialReference() srs.ImportFromEPSG(32633) A simple work-around for this bug would be to append the correct GDAL_PREFIX to port/cpl_config.h before calling make: echo '#undef GDAL_PREFIX' >>port/cpl_config.h echo '#define GDAL_PREFIX "/usr"' >>port/cpl_config.h With this inserted just before the line calling make, the ebuild installs fine and the code snippet works here.
