Python GDAL package missing header file when installing via pip

As suggested in the other thread, exporting some shell variables before running pip worked flawlessly. A path for *_INCLUDE_PATH can be found with gdal-config --cflags.

# GDAL library must have been installedsudo apt-get install libgdal-dev# Set up pip and/or virtualenv stuff...# Now install Python binding for GDALexport CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdalexport C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdalpip install GDAL

Tomyun's answer worked for me, with the proviso that you have to ensure that the version of GDAL-dev installed via apt-get matches the version being installed by pip.

For Ubuntu 14.04, the commands are:

# GDAL library must have been installedsudo apt-get install libgdal-dev# Set up pip and/or virtualenv stuff...# Now install Python binding for GDALexport CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdalexport C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdalpip3 install GDAL=1.10.0

Using PIP :

pip install --no-install GDAL

Then cd into ENV/build/GDAL

python setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/usr/include/gdalpip install --no-download GDAL

Using Buildout :

[gdal-bindings]recipe = zc.recipe.egg:customegg = GDAL==1.9.1include-dirs = /usr/include/gdallibrary-dirs = /usr/lib
