+'''Troubleshooting:''' If you receiving the following error message when running the GDAL tests and/or working with `SpatialReference` objects:
+{{{
+ERROR 4: Unable to open EPSG support file gcs.csv.
+...
+OGRException: OGR failure.
+}}}
+
+The solution is to set the `GDAL_DATA` environment variable to the location of the GDAL data files (typically `/usr/local/share`; use the `gdal-config --datadir` command to find out for sure) before invoking Python. For example:
+{{{
+$ export GDAL_DATA=`gdal-config --datadir`
+$ python manage.py shell
+}}}
+
 '''Note:''' The path to the GDAL library may be manually specified by setting `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH` in your settings with the full path to the GDAL library (e.g., the `.so` or `.dylib` file).
