I asked this question before realising this site existed:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51476826/gdal-2-3-1-is-installed-but-the-llinux-terminal-is-using-gdal-2-2-2

I've installed GDAL 2.3.1 using pip on a ubuntu 16.04 in a python environment. The package is in the correct site-packages directory and yet when I run a python script, I receive this error:

Error 1: NUMPY driver was compiled against GDAL 2.3, but the current library version is 2.2

The error then ends in a segmentation fault (core dumped).

When using gdal-config --version, the output shows 2.2.2.

I want to know how to change the version of gdal that linux appears to be using from 2.2.2 to 2.3.1 but I have no idea how to do this.

UPDATE

As asked, here's the method I used to install gdal and the outputs. I followed the method in Python GDAL package missing header file when installing via pip

I installed it in a python environment built to be able to run tensorflow 1.8.0 with Cuda 9.2 using a GPU - I don't know if that makes any difference

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

Could it be something to do with libgdal-dev installing 2.2.2?

  • Yes, you're compiling the python bindings against the gdal 2.2.2 source. Either download the gdal 2.3 source (I haven't bothered doing this for years) or just install a pre-compiled version from the conda-forge channel using a conda env - conda create -n gdal23 -c conda-forge "gdal>=2.3" then source activate gdal23 – user2856 Jul 27 '18 at 01:40
  • Thanks, I tried doing that but now I have this error:
    ImportError: /home/conor/miniconda3/envs/gdal23/lib/python3.6/site- packages/osgeo/../../../libgdal.so.20: undefined symbol: sqlite3_column_table_name Is this caused by a previous installation of gdal? I tried removing duplicates of libgdal.so.20 but this has been ineffective     – Conor Jul 27 '18 at 12:49

In ubuntu, a simpler solution to install the latest gdal for python3: install library files via libgdal-dev, and python wrapper via python-gdal

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-gdal

for python2:

sudo apt-get install python-gdal
