gdal: gdalinfo segfault: 11

[ak@…]

The new gdal instalation seems to be broken. Gdalinfo crashes with the error:

gdalinfo imt_image_COV61m_v3.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: imt_image_COV61m_v3.tif
Size is 4320, 8100
Segmentation fault: 11

It happens with every single geotiff file that is opened without any problems by other software.

What's your OS version? Xcode version? CPU architecture?

OS X 10.7.3, 1.8Ghz Intel Core i7, Xcode Version 4.2.1 (4D502)

Same problem here on two different 10.7.4 systems, Core i5 (Xcode 4.1 (4B110)) and Core 2 Duo. Also the Python bindings throw the same segfault when trying to read projection data from a dataset. In GDB, the call stack seems corrupted (only one frame with address 0xc0b).

It seems that the binary distfile (​http://packages.macports.org/gdal/gdal-1.9.0_3+expat.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2) is broken, at least on our systems. However, a self-built version works without segfaults.

In other words, if we do:

$ port uninstall gdal  (removes binary distfile install)
$ port build gdal
$ port destroot gdal
$ port install gdal

It all works on both systems with the current portfile.

I did manually what you suggested:

$ port uninstall gdal 
$ port build gdal
$ port destroot gdal
$ port install gdal

and gdal works fine now! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help.

Is this still a problem with 1.9.1?

This port is no longer maintained. See #44038.

I think this has been solved log ago. I close it, reopen it if necessary (or better open another ticket).
