Installing GDAL in a Python virtual environment

Get gdal development libraries:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

Create and activate a virtual environment:

$ virtualenv gdalenv
$ source gdal/bin/activate

Download GDAL:

(gdalenv) $ pip install --no-install GDAL

Specify where the headers are:

(gdalenv) $ cd /path/to/gdalenv/build/GDAL
(gdalenv) $ python setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/usr/include/gdal/

Install GDAL:

(gdalenv) $ pip install --no-download GDAL

Done.
