[GRASSLIST:261] Re: gdal\libgdal

[Martin Wegmann]

hello George, 

for information what gdal is, have a look at http://www.gdal.org/

for the installation, it depends which linux flavour (Suse, Debian etc.), 
version) you use. Normally there are rpm/deb available for each distribution. 
 
Generally you can compile gdal using the source from the above URL and link 
GRASS to the gdal location when you compile the GRASS code.  But this might 
be a problem if you are new to Linux, however it sounds more intimidating 
than it actually is. Just try it and ask if you encounter any problems.

regards, Martin
