The obsmon version is

I'm running on Ubuntu 18.04

.install --live prints the following error:

I have tried deleting and reinstalling "gdal" with no success.

Hi @MathiTol ,

I definitely do not have the insight @paulovcmedeiros has ...

A couple of quick questions:

• you say you have gdal installed, does this include libgdal-dev? I think this may provide libgdal.so.
• I see a mention of anaconda in your PATH - I have see this do funny things with defaul environments

Hi,

On top of what @ewhelan said (especially the bit about conda), please see the comment about customising the install of some packages using the install script’s -ca and/or -cv arguments (chapter "Installing and Executing --> Standalone mode" of the pdf doc file). An extract from there:

For instance, a recent install we performed required passing the following arguments to the install script: -ca="--with-gdal-config=/usr/gdal23/bin/gdal-config" -ca="--with-proj-include=/usr/proj49/include" -ca="--with-proj-lib=/usr/proj49/lib"

You may try something like this. PROJ and GDAL can be difficult to deal with; there are too many system-specific subtleties.
