This question might be repeat but I did not get answer. I have write flowing code in python ide .
out_srs = osr.SpatialReference()
**self.out_srs.ImportFromEPSG(4326)**
It run fine but when i run it from application it cause an error as follows
Note - Error in line enclosed in 2 stars -----
"Unable to load EPSG support gcs.csv file check setting GDAL_DATA environment variable which point to gdal library contains EPSG.csv file"
I have done it but i still get this error. but this code run separately but not in application. This code is from gdal2tile module of gdal. i am using python 2.7.6 and gdal 1.10.0 I am unable to sort out what is the problem and where it is. Please suggest how to solve this.
GDAL needs an environment variable named GDAL_DATA
that points to a directory with various data files, including gcs.csv
. Learn more about it here.
To check if GDAL_DATA
is set, and contains gcs.csv
, and if this is readable, use the following snippets to check the application. This should be near the code that raises the error.
import os
import stat
gdal_data = os.environ['GDAL_DATA']
print('is dir: ' + str(os.path.isdir(gdal_data)))
gcs_csv = os.path.join(gdal_data, 'gcs.csv')
print('is file: ' + str(os.path.isfile(gcs_csv)))
st = os.stat(gcs_csv)
print('is readable: ' + str(bool(st.st_mode & stat.S_IRGRP)))
The correct way to use either Anaconda or Miniconda is to activate an environment where GDAL is installed. For example, activate the base environment for Anaconda from Windows cmd.exe:
call %LOCALAPPDATA%\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat base
Activating an environment triggers environment variables such as GDAL_DATA (and others) to be set, and often changes the command prompt prefix showing the environment name. These environment variables are unset/restored when the environment is deactivated.
conda deactivate
