[GRASS-user] How to import .img format file?

[Rei Hayashi]

Ardi and Hamish, thank you for your advice.

I checked gdal using "$ gdalinfo --formats | grep -i erdas".  Then, I
saw only "LAN (ro): Erdas .LAN/.GIS", but not "HFA (rw+): Erdas
Imagine Images (.img)".

The computer I am using now used to belong to my coworker who left our
company a year ago.  GRASS is new software to me.  Do I need to
re-install GDAL feature into this computer?

Thank you,
Rei Hayashi
