[GRASSLIST:3960] Compiling GDAL

[Scott Holmes]

Please excuse me if this is an inappropriate place for GDAL questions, 
but the link to archives on the GDAL page insisted on pointing to yahoo 
"adult" content discussion groups.  I have just recently started looking 
at GRASS, using a CVS checkout.  It compiles and runs okay, as far as I 
have been able to tell.  I've found, however, that gdal is a separate 
package so I have a CVS checkout of this as well.  Unfortunately, upon 
running r.in.gdal, I get a segmentation fault.

I suspect that GDAL did not compile correctly as there are some failures 
  noted during configuration:  -ldbmalloc, dbmalloc.h, -lgrass5, 
-lcfitsio, and -logdi31.  I suppose the problem could also be related to 
the data I'm experimenting with.  The readme file contained within the 
tarred and compress data directory indicate:

   "This directory contains a Spatial Data Transfer Standard 
(SDTS)-compliant raster profile transfer, produced by the National 
Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)."

        "All files with extension *.DDF are in the ISO 8211 file transfer
         format. All SDTS spatial addresses are expressed in two 32-bit
         binary subfields defined by the ISO 8211.  Files are Level 2 of
         ISO 8211."

I don't have a dbmalloc.h on my system (Red Hat Linux 7.2).  My grass5 
is in /usr/local/, and I am unfamiliar with cfitsio and logdi31.  Any 
advise on configuration options or other ideas about the segmentation 
faults would be appreciated.

Thanks...
