Python can't import shapely

问题:

I am using Python3.4 on Mac OSX and I am trying to import shapely. I am however unable to do so. Here is my traceback:

    from shapely.geometry import Point   File "/Users/tc9/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/shapely/geometry/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>     from .base import CAP_STYLE, JOIN_STYLE   File "/Users/tc9/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/shapely/geometry/base.py", line 9, in <module>     from shapely.coords import CoordinateSequence   File "/Users/tc9/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/shapely/coords.py", line 8, in <module>     from shapely.geos import lgeos   File "/Users/tc9/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/shapely/geos.py", line 74, in <module>     _lgeos = load_dll('geos_c', fallbacks=alt_paths)   File "/Users/tc9/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/shapely/geos.py", line 53, in load_dll     libname, fallbacks or [])) OSError: Could not find library geos_c or load any of its variants ['/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Versions/Current/GEOS', '/opt/local/lib/libgeos_c.dylib'] 

I think I might have to set the GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH, but I'm not sure what to set it to.

Here is an ls of /Users/tc9/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.4.2/lib after I did brew install geos:

libgeos-3.4.2.dylib libgeos.dylib libgeos_c.a libgeos.a libgeos_c.1.dylib libgeos_c.dylib 

I edited and sourced my ~/.profile, but that didn't solve things:

GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH="/Users/tc9/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.4.2" export GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH 

Can anybody point me in the direction of a solution for getting shapely to import? Thanks.

回答1:

You have set homebrew to install things in your home directory (well, the homebrew subdirectory in your home directory). That's ok, but you'll have to tell your system to find the installed libraries there. /opt/local/lib is commonly found automatically, but /Users/tc9/homebrew/lib won't.

So instead of setting GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH, try setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/tc9/homebrew/lib 

You can do this on the command line first, and if it works, put it in your profile.

Note that I'm not using the Cellar subdirectory; you should see that as an archive for homebrew, but not as the actual files in use. For that, use /home/tc9/homebrew (with lib, bin etc appended). So for example, your PATH should also not include the Cellar directory.
