[GRASS-dev] GDAL-GRASS plugin

[Pietro]

Hi all,

I got a strange message, If I try to use gdal from shell (or from
GRASS, using r.in.gdal), I got:

{{{
gdalinfo --help
ERROR 1: libgrass_I.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
ERROR 1: libgrass_I.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
Usage: gdalinfo [--help-general] [-mm] [-stats] [-hist] [-nogcp] [-nomd]

                [-sd subdataset] datasetname
}}}

I saw:

http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_install_GDAL-GRASS_plugin

the link to get the GDAL/OGR-GRASS plugin bring to
http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/ where the lastest version is
gdal-grass-1.4.3.tar.gz, but if I look at OSGeo4W, see
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/grass/gdal-grass/
you can see that the last version should be
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/grass/gdal-grass/gdal-grass-1.5.4-4.tar.bz2,
but it seems empty to me...
Which one should I use?

Moreover "A script to configure/install easily can be found here", the link:

http://mpa.itc.it/markus/useful/conf_install_gdal_ogr_grass_plugin.sh

it seems broken.


Trying to compile the gdal-grass:

configure: error:
--with-grass=/home/pietro/docdat/src/gis/grass/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
requested, but libraries not found!  Perhaps you need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
/home/pietro/docdat/src/gis/grass/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib?

But the LD_LIBRARY_PATH global environment it seems to be set correctly:

gdal-grass-1.4.3  $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
:/home/pietro/.local/lib:/home/pietro/docdat/src/gis/grass/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Thank you for your help.
