py27-gdal fatal error: 'cpl_port.h' file not found

Trying to install py27-gdal.

Lion 10.7.2 Server, XCode 4.2.1

Seems to be a problem with clang, or maybe a problem with gdal-config

:info:build Could not run gdal-config!!!!

Fixed it! I mean, I don't know how to fix it in macports, but I fixed it on my own machine.

URL for bug report for GDAL fix is here ​http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3375

so I edited /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_python_py27-gdal/py27-gdal/work/GDAL-1.7.1/setup.cfg to remove the

../../apps/gdal-config

line, and then tried sudo port install py27-gdal and it worked.

Would be nice if the package maintainer, or anybody who knows how to maintain packages, could somehow put this into the package.

The '@1.8.0' in summary refers to gdal, not to py27-gdal.

The patch is straightforward, check the reinplace command in r89224. I've upgraded the port to 1.8.1 as well, this version correctly includes headers from gdal port but patch setup.cfg doesn't hurt.

Next time you can edit the portfile yourself using port edit or port dir to show port's directory and attach the patch to the ticket as well.
