[GRASS-user] r.in.mat Octave/Big Endian error on Linux/Intel .. workaround found

[Bernhard Dobmeier]

Hello Hamish,

thanks for your reply and sorry for the double post ;)

To avoid source code modifications, our workaround was to set up a
common mapset on a server. Christian (who you identified as my
colleague) can now access the maps I imported from mat4 files without
any problems.

Cheers

Bernhard
