First of alll, thanks for sending this to the mailing list.<div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><br>
The "gdal16" command is just a bat file changing a few environment variables<br>
for the local shell - primary the path. It does not have any effect beyond<br>
the current shell.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Ok. I get it...</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Also, it is affecting which GDAL utilities you pick up at the command line.<br>
It does not affect which version of GDAL is used at runtime by things like<br>
GRASS, MapServer or QGIS. These are all linked against a particular<br>
version of GDAL - in the case of GRASS 1.5.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Is it possible to change my GDAL version at runtime? (seems not)</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
So if you want to work with GRIB files I would suggest running "gdal16"<br>
in a shell, and then using gdal_translate to convert the grib file into<br>
a working format like GeoTIFF which you can subsequently use in GRASS.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Thanks for the suggestion. It seems a good one.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
My hope is that after the GDAL 1.8 release we will make GDAL 1.8 the<br>
default version of GDAL in OSGeo4W and update GRASS and other packages<br>
to use it. The fact that 1.5 is still the default version in OSGeo4W<br>
is my fault.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Luisa</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div>
