I found that the best way to install GDAL was: - on Windows, using Christoph Gohlke’s wheels, - on Linux, installing GDAL with the OS’ package manager, then the Python bindings by fixing the version to $(gdal-config —-version) and setting C_INCLUDE_DIR and CPP_INCLUDE_DIR. It’s a bit more involved, but the speed of pip and conda’s multiple channels and dependency resolution issues make this worth it.
