GDAL breaks mapscript + psycopg

[hbarrett]

I upgraded GDAL from 1.4.1 to 1.6.0. Immediately after the install I checked the site that uses GDAL via mapscript and the html was not being generated fully. I tracked the problem down to the psycopg connection declaration. I created a new test script an found that psycopg works alone and mapserver works alone, but when I import mapscript and psycopg, the psycopg connection declaration fails with a Segmentation fault.

The only reason I am submitting this as a GDAL bug is the only thing that has changed is GDAL.

This is the result of running the test script with gdb python.

I'm sorry, but without something more specifically tying this to GDAL I can't forsee us pursuing the matter.

I would suggest you run things under valgrind and see if that points out anything of interest. Also, perhaps, carefully review the libraries getting pulled in. Perhaps try building GDAL without curl support if an SSL conflict has something to do with the problem.

good luck,
