[Qgis-developer] Re: Problem readingn geotif file with qgis 1.7.3

[Agustin Lobo]

The problem is caused by a faulty libgdal1-1.8.0 in ubuntugis-unstable

A solution has been suggested by Julien Malik
(see http://orfeo-toolbox.org/otb/) as he had had this problem few weeks ago
and actually made a correctly build libgdal for otb.

The solution is:
1. Make sure you have the otb repo in your list:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/otb/orfeotoolbox-stable-ubuntugis/ubuntu
(in my case, lucid)
2. Run
sudo aptitude install libgdal1-1.8.0=1.8.0-2~lucid2+otb2
libgdal1-dev=1.8.0-2~lucid2+otb2
3. Start QGIS. The tif files can be read and displayed again.

Now I have libgdal1-1.8.0 flagged as upgradeable in Synaptic, but will
not do it until the
package is fixed there.

Thanks a lot Julien!
