[GRASSLIST:8857] Re: HDF files?

[Michael Barton]

I tried to import Terra ASTER hdf files using the latest gdalwarp and my
r.in.aster script last week, after compiling the latest version (1.3.1) of
gdal. It still gives an error that gdal cannot read the projection info in
the ASTER hdf's. This has been an issue since 1.2.7 (version 1.2.6 still
works fine on my Mac).

I haven't tried r.in.gdal, but suspect that I'd have similar problems
(please correct me if wrong!).

Is there a fix or workaround to this? All ASTERs are in WGS84, UTM
projection (the zone varies of course).
