Re: [Qgis-user] GDAL utf-8 workaround

you'll have to build and install one of the versions yourself (preferably 1.9), and update various environment variables (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to run the custom version. If you need any hints on setting up the parallel environments, let me know. Etienne On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 12:52 PM,
