[Qgis-user] Problem with GRASS plugin on MacOsX

[William Kyngesburye]

Huh.  I guess we're back to the gdalinfo test now.

In a Terminal type (all on one line, if email breaks it join it back into one line):

/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.6/Programs/gdalinfo --formats

GRASS should be near the top of the list.  If it is, try (all one line again):

/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.6/Programs/gdalinfo /Users/erica/Desktop/grassdata/alaska/demo/cellhd/gtopo30

I have copied the *.cpp and *.h sources from the frmts and ogr/ogrsf_frmts folders.....  however I am unsure of how to 'build it'. I do not know what 'cd' stands for....  I apologise if these questions seem trivial....

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
