gdal and geos

anjanesh

On my macOS I did brew install gdal geos and

export GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libgdal.dylib 
export GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libgeos_c.dylib

What do I have to do to accomplish the same on OpalStack's AlmaLinux servers ?
I need gdal and geos for this :

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
        'NAME': os.environ.get('DATABASE_NAME'),
        'USER': os.environ.get('DATABASE_USER'),
        'PASSWORD': os.environ.get('DATABASE_PASSWORD'),
        'HOST': os.environ.get('DATABASE_HOST'),
        'PORT': os.environ.get('DATABASE_PORT')
    }
}

anjanesh the exports on AlmaLinux 9 should be:

export GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/gdal311/lib/libgdal.so.37
export GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/geos313/lib64/libgeos_c.so

If that doesn't work then try this instead:

export GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/gdal35/lib/libgdal.so.31
export GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH= /usr/geos311/lib64/libgeos_c.so

But what is OpalStack's equivalent to brew install gdal geos ?

sean

If you had root access and were administering the server yourself the command would be:

dnf install gdal311-lib geos313

You don't have root access so you can't do that yourself, but since the packages are already installed there's no need to do so.

sean but since the packages are already installed there's no need to do so.

Oh that's good to know ! I thought I had to go through something like this for the AlmaLinux servers too.
