[GRASS-user] r.in.wms failure

[William Kyngesburye]

It's been noted in the past (and the note in the r.in.wms output) that  
the fallback parsing (when xml2 program is not found) doesn't work  
well for some WMS servers.

I bundle an xml2 binary in my OSX GRASS binaries.  You can easily  
build one yourself.  Grab the source from:

http://ofb.net/~egnor/xml2/

Get the .3 source, .4 is exactly the same source, but with a  
configure, BUT it requires pkg-config (yuck!).

edit the makefile (there's no configure in .3), change the CFLAGS and  
LDLIBS lines to match:

CFLAGS = -Os -I/usr/include/libxml2/libxml -I/usr/include/libxml2
LDLIBS = -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -liconv -lm

Then make.  Then copy it to /usr/local/bin.  Or use the OSX app  
bundle.sh to copy it to the GRASS package/bin.
