If you<br>> want to use the pypi bindings then they depend on the standard GDAL<br>> binaries which you have found. It is possible to mix these standard<br>> DLLs into FWTools but there is some risk of conflicts. I would generally<br>> suggest you keep them separate.<br>> <br>> Best regards,<br>> <br>> On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 5:34 AM, Vince Ulfig <vulfig@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> > Hi Frank,<br>> ><br>> > I recently started using the GDAL / OGR utilities from FWTools and love<br>> > them.<br>> > Thank you.<br>> ><br>> > I installed the python bindings for GDAL from this page:<br>> > http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL<br>> ><br>> > I found that I had to install gdalwin32-1.5 in addition to FWTools and add<br>> > C:\gdalwin32-1.5\bin to the path variable,<br>> > in order to get the python bindings to work.<br>> > I ran some code that attempts to import ogr<br>> > and use some of the objects,<br>> > and found that I could not import ogr<br>> > until I added the path described above.<br>> ><br>> > I then found that the only files in<br>> > C:\gdalwin32-1.5\bin<br>> > that were not included in<br>> > c:\program files\fwtools2.1.0\bin<br>> > were gdal15.dll and geos_c_fw.dll.<br>> > When I copied these files to<br>> > c:\program files\fwtools2.1.0\bin<br>> > and removed C:\gdalwin32-1.5\bin<br>> > from the path variable, I could still import ogr.<br>> ><br>> > Is this a reasonable method for using the python bindings for gdal?<br>> > Is it better to install both FWTOOLS and gdalwin32-1.5?<br>> ><br>> > When I had both in the path,<br>> > I put gdalwin32-1.5/bin in the path in front of FWTOOLS.<br>> > Does this make sense?<br>> ><br>> > _______________________________________________<br>> > FWTools mailing list<br>> > FWTools@lists.maptools.org<br>> > http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/fwtools<br>> > http://fwtools.maptools.org/<br>> ><br>> ><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------<br>> I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam@pobox.com<br>> light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam<br>> and watch the world go round - Rush | Geospatial Programmer for Rent<br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> FWTools mailing list<br>> FWTools@lists.maptools.org<br>> http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/fwtools<br>> <br>> <br>> End of FWTools Digest, Vol 46, Issue 8<br>> **************************************<br></body>
