Sep 20, 2017 at 8:53 comment added Holt @TestSubject I have recently installed python binding for GDAL 2.1 on OSX using the compatibility framework, and I have summarised the steps on this answer. Maybe you'll find this useful. The major issue is that the usage of the gdal-config binary is broken when using pip.

pip --no-install does not work with later versions of pip

Jun 28, 2016 at 0:02 comment added TestSubject I recently had a wonderful time installing GDAL on OSX. Currently, the latest Python bindings for GDAL depend on 2.1, but the latest available GDAL in homebrew is 1.11.3, and 1.11.4 for GDAL Complete. I installed via homebrew, brew install gdal, and used an older version of the GDAL Python package: pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-L/usr/local/include/gdal/" 'gdal==1.9.1'

Oct 11, 2013 at 6:38 comment added Paul Whipp I had the same problem as theJollySin using Ubuntu 13.04 - my complete answer is further down (too long for a comment ;)
Mar 25, 2013 at 18:50 comment added nickves Yes, It seems that gdal bindings are trying to find gdal-confing within your virtualenv, and it fails because it's not there. A possible solution (I haven't test it!) is to create a symbolic link of your gdal-config to your virtualenv directory ( ls -s /path/to/gdal/gdal-config /path-to-virtualenvs/your-env/bin/gdal-config ).
Mar 23, 2013 at 18:36 comment added john_science @nickves I am trying to install GDAL using virtualenvwrapper in Ubuntu, and when I try your first line: pip install --no-install GDAL, I get the error: __main__.gdal_config_error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Any idea?

Jul 9, 2012 at 9:40 comment added nickves what is the output when you run 'gdal-config --version' and 'gdal-config --libs' ?
Jul 8, 2012 at 22:26 comment added Kevin Hi thanks for you answer but I really need a way to install via pip as I will be creating isolated environments using virtualenv during CI process.
