[GIS] Installing GDAL on CentOS

centosgdalinstallation

I'm having issues with installing GDAL on a fresh install of Centos7 using the ELGIS repo. Here's my commands and output:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://elgis.argeo.org/repos/6/elgis-release-6-6_0.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y gdal

Here are the console errors:

Is there another repo I need to install to make this work?

Best Answer

ELGIS requires EPEL (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse for EPEL).

However I'm not sure that you really want to use ELGIS 6 on CentOS 7. Its intended for RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 / Scientific Linux 6.

Instead, you probably just want to use EPEL for CentOS 7 for something like GDAL. EPEL 7 has GDAL 1.11.0, which isn't quite the latest, but is certainly more current than the 1.9.2 that are you trying to install.
