[GRASS-user] How to use r.in.gdal and gdal to read MODIS NDVI/EVI (HDF4) data?

[Tveraa, Torkild]

Hi all,

I am trying to use gdal and r.in.gdal to read MODIS/HDF4 following the instructions at http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/MODIS but I am obviously doing something wrong ☺ 

Help and suggestions are most appreciated.

Cheers,

Torkild
