Binder cannot install a requirement (GDAL)

[Milan_Lazecky]

hi,

I have problem with installing GDAL as requirement. No matter if I use pygdal or gdal, or if i include setuptools>=58.0.4 to the requirements.txt, the compile always ends up in:

WARNING: numpy not available! Array support will not be enabled

(although numpy is in requirements.txt),and:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../../apps/gdal-config'

…

as some hint it says:

Could not find gdal-config. Make sure you have installed the GDAL native library and development headers.

is this somehow possible to fix?

this is the repository i try get the environment working:

COMET_LiCSAR / licsbas · GitLab

(note we as a university would like to arrange a small short workshop soon, using this repository through mybinder.org for the first time)

thank you,

Milan

This thread might be helpful:

Error in library(rgdal): there is no package called ‘rgdal’ Traceback:

I think I got past that issue in my repo where I’m trying to run Tyler Morgan-Wall’s excellent rayshader package. I think I put related dependencies in apt.txt, such as libgdal-dev and libproj-dev. See here. You’ll come across the need to use apt.txt to get ubuntu to install some basic libraries fairly regularly. Search apt.txt on this page. And you’ll get a sense of that being a common usage pattern, and see here and consider it in the light of the quote manics pasted above from the rgdal CRAN…

Hopefully you are aware of the current limit of 100 concurrent users per repo. See here. You can request that limit be relaxed for workshop using the link in the ’ Running events with mybinder.org’ section.

excellent!
seems i was too rushing, not going through documentation properly.
many thanks!
actually, in the end i could just use environment.yml for mamba env, rather than requirements.txt for only (pip’s?) python libraries.

many thanks!

yes!!
thank you very much. we will contact the team, with pleasure, as ‘maybe’ it will be for a bit more than 100 users. cheers!
