[GRASS-user] Wrong projection info after importing Geotif

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi!

I'm trying to import a geotif file
(http://user.uni-frankfurt.de/~grieser/downloads/NetPrimaryProduction/npp_CruP_All_fine_geo.zip)

I import the geotif file with:
  r.in.gdal input=/media/mifat32/MASTER_ICTA2007_2008/2008b/npp.tif
output=npp

and check the region:

alobo at alobo-laptop:~$ g.region rast=npp
alobo at alobo-laptop:~$ g.region -p

GRASS_INFO_ERROR(19559,1): region for current mapset is invalid

GRASS_INFO_ERROR(19559,1): line 9: <e-w resol:  0>

But, according to gdalinfo, the geotif file is correct:

$ gdalinfo npp.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: npp.tif
Size is 1440, 572
Coordinate System is:

Any help appreciated!
