I have a geospatial python app that I want to use on Heroku.
This is my requirements.txt file:
Flask==0.10.1
Jinja2==2.7.2
MarkupSafe==0.19
Werkzeug==0.9.4
gunicorn==18.0
itsdangerous==0.23
numpy==1.8.0
requests==2.2.1
wsgiref==0.1.2
I want to use the heroku-buildpack-geodjango to install Python GDAL.
I create and do a git push.
heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/dulaccc/heroku-buildpack-geodjango/
git push heroku master
This all works fine. However the app crashes because it doesn't find GDAL.
These are my logs:

How do I set up GDAL in order to work properly?
