Hi,<br><br><br>I have already tried to use gdal by downloading FWTools updated with
beta2 and a problem I experienced with previous gdal version is still there(pls. see below description of original problem). So, I
decided to try on a different computer with gdal package.<br>I downloaded gdal1.4.0beta2.tar.gz package from <a href="http://gdal.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">gdal.org</a> yesterday. I compile the source code and install gdal on a Ubuntu Linux PC. All seemed to be OK. However, when I tried to find out if the proper version was installed by running: "gdalinfo --version" , I got version
1.4.0beta1 version installed.<br>I didn't install beta1 before in this PC. Does anyone have an idea if this is just a bug and the version is beta2 although the --version says is beta1? <br>I need to use beta2 since the fix I needed was supposed to be included on this version.
<br><br><br><br>ORIGINAL PROBLEM: running gdal_merge.py -pct -o
output.tif -pct in1.tif in2.tif where in*tif = geotiff images with one band and same color table, gave me a full black out.tif.<br>This was reported as a bug and it was fixed according to bugzilla report for 1.4.0beta2.<br>
<br>You can find the input images here if you would like to give it a try:<br><a href="http://www.mediamax.com/izzybitsie/Hosted/AS_GMSSO_00_20061122205634.tif" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
