[GRASS5] Re: [GRASSLIST:7635] Re: netCDF import not working

[William K]

I guess that answers that.  I used gdalinfo on the sample you sent  
and that worked.  I didn't get to the point of trying importing it  
into GRASS yet, but I expect it will work.

For recompiling GDAL, that's all you would have to do.  It's simple  
enough in a default build of everything, assuming you can figure out  
all the options someone used for the version you are replacing.  But  
when you isolate everything in it's own folder, like Lorenzo does  
into '/usr/local/grasslib', it gets a bit messy.

I have build instructions for everything on my web page (coming soon  
to the GRASS site).  It's mainly a matter of specifying --with-xxx=  
options to point to /usr/local/grasslib stuff.


I've asked Lorenzo a couple times if he would like to cooordinate  
building his GRASS using my GIS Libs installers.  I haven't had much  
positive response yet.  If you like, you could install my GIS Libs  
package (and Graphics Libs) and use that copy of GDAL to translate  
the file to TIFF, then import that into GRASS.
