[GRASSLIST:6236] Re: GDAL install problems

[Māris Nartišs]

Hi,

I found this bug some time a go - You cant build GRASS 6 w/o GDAL.
Building GRASS w/o GDAL always fails and there is a little sense to
build GRASS w/o GDAL.
IMHO GRASS developers should change GDAL from recomended to required package.

Whats Your distro and what problems You have with GDAL? I use GRASS
and GDAL on Gentoo and Slackware w/o problems.


wbr,
Maris.
