[GRASS-user] LiDAR LAS import

[Daniel Victoria]

Hi Rebecca et al.,

I'm having the same problem. Installed liblas using ubuntu packages
and when I run configure I get that it's unable to locate libLAS
library.

daniel at daniel-desktop:/usr/lib$ liblas-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lgeotiff -L/usr/lib -lgdal1.6.0
daniel at daniel-desktop:/usr/lib$ liblas-config --includes
-I/usr/include/geotiff -I/usr/include/gdal

Has anyone figured out what is going on?

Thanks
Daniel
