[mapserver-users] GDAL not working perhaps

[Ed McNierney]

Isai -

Are those TIFF files GeoTIFF files as well?  That is, GDAL will read the geotransform matrix from GeoTIFF tags if they're available; I'm pretty sure it will only look for a TFW file if the GeoTIFF data is absent.  If there is some way we could look at the TIFF file and the world file, that would be helpful.

I finally got the compilation done by doing:

make clean
./configure --with-gdal
make

instead of:

make clean
./configure --with-gdal=/usr/bin
make

There some error messages but it kept going anyways.  However, now when I 
run my test page (with 2 tiff images that are supposed to be autorotated 
with the associated twf files) the images are just placed there without any 
rotation what so ever (!).

I thought GDAL handled rotation, or must it be specified in the MAP file?

Can someone please help me.  Thank you very much.

Respectfully:
IML

P.D.0: In the output by ./configure it does print out that gdal service was 
asked for by the user and even confirms the existance of a gdal-config file 
but that apparently does not mean much since I still do not see any 
rotation.
