Problem installing GDAL

[antoninobajeli]

Hello, I have some problem to configure GDAL in my Python environment.

In the "requirement.txt" I specified "GDAL==2.4.2" and
as pre-condition I configured Docker in order to install the needed system dependencies:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ binutils \ gdal-bin \ python-gdal

During the installation process I get the following error:
Building wheel for GDAL (setup.py): started Building wheel for GDAL (setup.py): finished with status 'error' ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: command: /env/bin/python3.7 -u -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/tmp/pip-install-48kodxl1/GDAL/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-install-48kodxl1/GDAL/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' bdist_wheel -d /tmp/pip-wheel-okgsrlrf --python-tag cp37 cwd: /tmp/pip-install-48kodxl1/GDAL/ Complete output (33 lines): WARNING: numpy not available!

compilation terminated. error: command "x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc" failed with exit status 1 ERROR: Failed building wheel for GDAL

Is something missing in the base configuration?

thanks in advance.

I think it has something to do with python 3.7 and the latest version of GDAL. I got it working using the python:3 image which I believe is Python 3.8.

FROM python:3
