I am trying to use imageio-ext with geoserver 2.3.2 in RHEL 6. I have gdal-1.7.3-15.el6.x86_64 from a yum repo and I got imageio-ext from: http://demo.geo-solutions.it/share/github/imageio-ext/releases/1.1.X/1.1.5/native/gdal/
Since this version of imageio-ext depends on gdal-1.7.3, I assumed that I don’t need to follow the instructions about installing the native libs. Using the instructions at http://docs.geoserver.org/2.3.0/user/data/raster/gdal.html, I’m still getting the following error:
WARNING: Failed to load the GDAL native libs. This is not a problem unless you need to use the GDAL plugins: they won’t be enabled.
After untaring the native libs and setting an LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GDAL_DATA path, I’m still getting the warning about not being able to find GDAL.
To narrow my troubleshooting scope, my question is if the OS install of GDAL matches the imageio-ext dependency, do I need to use the ‘native’ gdal instructions?
Thanks,
