Here will be my sequence of command lines while trying to install gdal2.1 in a UBUNTU virtual machine. My virtual machine is a UBUNTU 16.04 LTS(64bit) I would need gdal2.1 and especially the Python bindings to work with it in python. The versionof python currently installed is 2.7.11+ and I installed numpy as I know that it is necessary for GDAL. now the command lines with the

Instructions I found in the Pypi page of GDAL2.1:

   antonio19812@antonio19812-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1i

   libgdal1i is already the newest version (1.11.3+dfsg-3build2).

   antonio19812@antonio19812-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev

   libgdal1-dev is already the newest version (1.11.3+dfsg-3build2).

   antonio19812@antonio19812-VirtualBox:~$ sudo pip install gdal

This was what I obtained. Consider that the VM has not other software or packages installed. I hope you can help me, using GDAL2.1 would be so important..

I have tried to ask for some suggestion in the GIS section but I had no answers so far

What worked for me is this: https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/193828/66527

Below, I copy that answer:

You can download GDAL 2.1 for Windows from GIS Internals. There is an installer and a portable version that doesn't require installation.

GDAL 2.1 is available for Ubuntu 16.04 from the UbuntuGIS-Stable PPA

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade # if you already have gdal 1.11 installed 
sudo apt install gdal-bin python-gdal python3-gdal # if you don't have gdal 1.11 already installed

Note Ubuntu 16.04 comes with python 3.5 but uses python 2.7 as default

    GDAL 2.1 is now available in ubuntugis-stable, so I thing you could change de first line sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa – bsm Mar 14 '18 at 02:32

    @bsm can you please edit the answer directly? Right now I don't have a context where to try it. – Akhorus Mar 21 '18 at 16:52

    Note that this doesn't work for Conda users, because python-gdal and python3-gdal install into the system Python2 and Python3, not the Conda packages. For Conda users you probably need something like this: https://github.com/conda-forge/gdal-feedstock/issues/213#issuecomment-407449828 – Kyle McDonald Aug 20 '18 at 05:45
  • Doesn't work for me in Travis.ci https://travis-ci.org/Suor/django-cacheops/jobs/429893625 – Suor Sep 18 '18 at 06:00
  • Thanks, this worked for me on a cloud ubuntu 16.04 droplet. All the `pip` installations had been failing! – Nikhil VJ Apr 19 '19 at 04:47
  • Thanks, I can now use R INLA! – Yves Jun 26 '19 at 12:10

    Thank you this worked fine. i added python3-gdal and work **sudo apt install gdal-bin python3-gdal python3-gdal** – NEBEZ Jan 17 '21 at 15:57

"python-gdal" version 2.1.0 requires gdal version 2.1.0 . So the install of "libgdal1" version 1.11.3 isn't sufficient. Get gdal-2.1.0 : http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.1.0/gdal-2.1.0.tar.gz

And the ~43 dependencies : $ sudo apt-get build-dep gdal

Building and installing gdal-2.1.0 and the Python bindings :

$ cd gdal-2.1.0/
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd swig/python/
$ sudo python setup.py install

... No issues here, using Ubuntu 16.04 - 64bits.

  • Oddly, I get an error - `gdal-2.1.0/.libs/libgdal.so: undefined reference to \`kmldom::SerializePretty(boost::intrusive_ptr const&)' ` - note the backtick before `kmldom`, but a single-quote after `const&)`. Previously I got two errors, because `libgdal.so` needed `png_set_longjmp_fn()` which requires `libpng` 1.4+ - the base install appeared to be libpng1.2.54, and when I installed `libpng16-dev` the second `make` error went away.. – GT.

Did you install python-dev ?

Before you install anything from source in Ubuntu, I suggest you take care of the build dependencies.

sudo apt-get build-dep python-gdal

Than try and run the installation.
