installing Gdal on Windows 10 with python 3.6.4: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cpl_port.h'

So I am trying to pip install gdal but got an error. 

  extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp(3168): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cpl_port.h': No such file or directory
  error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.13.26128\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

So I am running the following:

  • Python 3.6.4 anaconda distribution
  • Windows 10 (x64)
  • Microsoft Visual 2017 Redistribute both x64 and x86 (both installed by the vs builder tool)

MS Visual was installed because of this error before

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

Here is the trace log for the error:

Any ideas how to fix this? I just want use the ogr2ogr in gdal to convert .shp to GeoJSON then to topojson.

Solution

  • I had the same problem and found the solution here: gdal-installation-error-using-pip

    That is: download the wheel file and install from the command line.
