[GRASS-user] Problem with grib support for GRASS 6.4

[Hamish]

If GDAL can read it then GRASS should be able to as well, all
versions being equal. 'r.in.gdal -f' (in grass 6.5 anyway) gets
its format list directly from libgdal.. so as Markus suggests
check for new & old version of gdal. For GRIB support you'll
probably want to use the very latest GDAL release as it is new
there and still maturing. You need a gdal version >1.5.


if gdal tools can see it, an in-between work-around is to convert
the grib to geotiff with gdal_translate, then load the geotiff
into grass.
