New description: Currently the error message for GDAL and GIS when not locating the required library is: '''Could not find the GDAL library (tried "%s"). Is GDAL installed? If it is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.''' It's probably better to advise checking the Library Path before setting it to the project settings file, maybe as a last resort. For many MacOS homebrew users, the library might be not installed in the default library PATH (for instance, homebrew installs it to /opt/homebrew/lib/), non visible Library paths in default environment is I think relative common. My advise is to print "... If it is, try checking your environment library path or try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings." -- -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/34375#comment:1> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
