34375	GDAL and GIS missing LD Library error message.	Lars Klassen	Julia Singh	"Currently the error message for GDAL and GIS when not locating the required library is:
'''Could not find the GDAL library (tried ""%s""). Is GDAL installed? If it is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.'''

It's probably better to advise checking the Library Path before setting it to the  project settings file, maybe as a last resort. For many MacOS homebrew users, the library might be not installed in the default library PATH (for instance, homebrew installs it to /opt/homebrew/lib/), non visible library paths in default environment is I think relatively common.

My advise is to print ""... If it is, check your environment library path or try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings."""	Cleanup/optimization	closed	GIS	4.1	Normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	1	0
