[GRASS-dev] Re: need gdal in path

[Michael Barton]

There are scripts, like r.in.aster, that require gdal. And the GUI uses
gdal_translate. 

Perhaps the best thing would be to add a grass environmental variable
GRASS_GDALPATH. This could be set by platform at runtime with init.sh along
with other variables like GRASS_PROJSHARE. This is another one.

I can set these in my .profile. But it is something that the binary needs to
do at runtime for most folks if possible.
