[GRASS-user] convert from NetCDF to ESRI Shapefile + scripting + install FC5.

[Bjørge Solli]

Hi all,

I am new to Grass and I am wondering if it has capabilities to convert NetCDF 
files to vector shapefiles? Any other format for which there exist a program 
that converts it to shapefiles would also do.

Is it possible to use Grass in automated scripts? (bash/ksh/perl)

I also need some hints on installing it on Fedora Core 5 (EM64T CPU). It seems 
to be missing some files (I'm guessing this is bcs it looking the wrong 
places):

hdf5, geos, proj, fftw and sqlite are all installed.

Is there any x86_64 packages available somewhere, the ones I tried are i386 
ones?
