Install GDAL in virtualenvwrapper environment


Install GDAL in virtualenvwrapper environment



I tried to install gdal (pip install gdal)in virtualenvwrapper environment but I got this error :


error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

----------------------------------------
Failed building wheel for gdal
Failed to build gdal



I tried also "pip install --no-install GDAL" but there is nooption --no-install



what should I do !?





Which OS is this on? pyGDAL is a little bit difficult with virtualenvs since it requires the appropriate C++ library already installed on the system. You also should match versions (i.e. if your OS has libgdal 1.9, pip install gdal==1.9 is your friend). For Debian-based systems you also need libgdal-dev installed. And then there's sometimes also CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

pip install gdal==1.9


libgdal-dev


CPPFLAGS


LDFLAGS





Ubuntu 14.04 and also my gdal version on Os is 2.0.0 and I tried to install gdal==2.0.0 but does not work !

You need gdal-dev and gdal-bin packages. Running pip with CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gdal" pip install gdal might also be necessary.

gdal-dev


gdal-bin


pip


CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gdal" pip install gdal





Thank you. It worked for me !

Yes, installing GDAL in a venv is a doozy. Conveniently, I just wrote up the documentation on how to do so for my advisor's lab! While I am not savvy enough to pinpoint the exact cause of your error, I can give you a bunch of things to try to fix it.



First, ensure you have gdal installed on the host (i.e. not in a venv). I just run the following:


sudo apt-get install libgdal1i libgdal1-dev libgdal-dev



Now run gdal-config --version to get the version that apt-get provided you with. For example I get 1.11.3


gdal-config --version


apt-get


1.11.3



Now, the easiest way in my experience to get the python bindings in a venv is using pygdal. The trick is to get the right version! To do so, activate your virtual environment and run


pygdal


pip install pygdal==1.11.3



but replace the version with whatever you got from gdal-config --version. Note: you may get an error that says


gdal-config --version


Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pygdal==1.11.3 (from versions: 1.8.1.0, 1.8.1.1, 1.8.1.2, 1.8.1.3, 1.9.2.0, 1.9.2.1, 1.9.2.3, 1.10.0.0, 1.10.0.1, 1.10.0.3, 1.10.1.0, 1.10.1.1, 1.10.1.3, 1.11.0.0, 1.11.0.1, 1.11.0.3, 1.11.1.0, 1.11.1.1, 1.11.1.3, 1.11.2.1, 1.11.2.3, 1.11.3.3, 1.11.4.3, 2.1.0.3) No matching distribution found for pygdal==1.11.3



If that happens, run the pip install again but with the highest version that still matches. e.g. in this case you would run pip install pygdal==1.11.3.3


pip install


pip install pygdal==1.11.3.3



Once pygdal has been successfully installed, you should be able to call


pygdal


>>> from osgeo import gdal



Please let me know if anything fails and I'll do what I can to adjust my instructions. Also, if you need help with Proj.4, GEOS, or Cartopy, I have some experience there too.





Thanks for the explanation. Especially for the "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pygdal==1.11.3 (from versions: ....)" error.

It worked for me on OSX HighSIerra and Python3.6: pip install pygdal and then from osgeo import gdal.

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
