[GRASS-user] Importing Raster- Newbie

[Franz Okyere]

Hi all,
 
I registered on your list only a few days ago and I love to use grass (newbie though), but I am having a problem importing a geotif raster data. Any clue as to why that is happening? I have pasted the text below. I have tried using the -o flag but I never get the syntax right.
 
Thanks
 
Franz

You can use the -o flag to r.in.gdal to override this check and use the location definition for the dataset.
Consider generating a new location from the input dataset using the 'location' parameter.
