Bug 111164 – GDAL 1.3.1 python module installed in wrong location

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Homme Zwaagstra 2005-11-01 09:33:29 UTC]

The GDAL python modules (including gdal, ogr and osr) are all installed in the
wrong location. This results in the import statement failing to locate them,
producing an ImportError:

ImportError: No module named gdal

Instead of being installed in the /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages directory the
modules are installed in /usr/python2.4/site-packages




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up an interactive python session
2. Type 'import gdal' followed by return

Actual Results:  
ImportError: No module named gdal

Expected Results:  
Imported the gdal module

Patch fixing the python install path

use_conf="--with-pymoddir=/usr/${get_libdir}/python${PYVER}/site-packages

is changed to:

use_conf="--with-pymoddir=/usr/lib/python${PYVER}/site-packages

It should have been $(get_libdir).  Now it works...
