I search the entire net could not find a guide to get gdal-config.
I have yum but yum does not have gdal-config, i already installed gdal.
I just need to be able to do this on shell - gdal-config and not get a command not found error.
My distro is Fedora. I don't have apt-get.
You probaby have "yum" instead of "apt-get" on Fedora. Try..
yum install gdal gdal-devel
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, so I use apt-get instead of Yum. But I had trouble with gdal and gdal-develop. This is command that worked for me:
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin libgdal-dev
I found the package names from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdal
I had a similar problem, that is "gdal-config" was missing. I could solve it by installing the development packages. So you could try installing gdal-dev.
As far as I know, the GDAL utilities, including gdal-config, are part of the download package that you can find here: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries. They link to a Fedora version. If you installed apt-get, you could find it by looking for GDAL directly.
