How can I resolve this error?

ImportError: /home/a/b.com/live-charts/live-chart-example/lib/python3.6/site-packages/osgeo/_gdal.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: GDALDatasetTestCapability

Gerrit's answer to a related question solved the undefined symbol: GDALDatasetTestCapability error for me:

If a gdal version is already installed, this problem will occur even if you have linked against the version installed in ~/.local. A solution is given at a Planet MYSQL post here:

In this case, we can tell the linker to preload our newer 1.11.0 library in our shell this way:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1

Or, in my case,

export LD_PRELOAD="$HOME/.local/lib/libgdal.so.1"

Python gdal undefined symbol GDALRasterBandGetVirtualMem

  • You may also need to run, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" and ldconfig in order for the bindings to work. – JessieinAg Nov 28 '18 at 22:56
