[GRASS-user] r.in.gdal and .ecw files

[Aaron Racicot]

Your version of gdal needs to be built against the ECW SDK from
ermapper.  Someone else who supports the binary packages will have to
tell you how to get a version with the correct build, but if you are
building yourself you can just:

1) Download and install the SDK from ermapper
(http://www.ermapper.com/downloads/sdks.aspx#16)
2) Build gdal with the correct config option (--with-ecw)

Hope that helps...

Does anyone know if r.in.gdal reads .ecw files? According to the docs it
does (http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html). However, I am getting a
"not recognised as a supported file format" error. If I use the -f (list
supported files option) with r.in.gdal, ecw is not listed. 


Thanks,


Kirk
