need assistance with gdal_retile.py - FWTwools 2.4.2 Windows

Hello,

 

I would like to create a tilecache for my air photos to be used in my mapserver application.  It is my understanding that you can use gdal_retile.py to do this.  I installed the full installation of FWTools 2.4.2 for windows.  When I ran tilecache I had the following errors: 

 

File "C:\PROGRA~1\FWTOOL~1.2\bin\gdal_retile.py", line 36, in <module>

    import gdal

File "C:\PROGRA~1\FWTOOL~1.2\pymod\gdal.py", line 191, in <module>

    import _gdal

ImportError: No module named _gdal

 

Could anyone assist me in getting a tilecache set up?   I also was confused as the help page http://gdal.org/gdal_retile.html did not address the source raster file. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Mark,

FWTools installs it's components in a local FWTools environment.  It
does not update the system Python with the GDAL packages. The following
page includes info on installing windows binaries that I think may
do what you need.

The source raster file is the argument listed as "input_files".  What
else did you need to know?

Best regards,
