</div></div>I'll warn you now that you need to compile it yourself and then stick<br>
the library in the appropriate place on your system. If that sounds like<br>
too much of a hassle and you can't wait there are a few other options.<br>
<br>
The new version of the plugin<br>
1st thing is to upgrade to 1.0 Preview 2, see the download page for<br>
details and warnings.<br>
<a href="http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml" target="_blank">http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml</a><br>
<br>
the repos are (change the name of the distro for Intrepid)<br>
deb <a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu" target="_blank">http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu</a> hardy main<br>
deb-src <a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu" target="_blank">http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu</a> hardy main<br>
<br>
For windows:<br>
<a href="http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/QGIS-1.0.0preview2-Setup.exe" target="_blank">http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/QGIS-1.0.0preview2-Setup.exe</a><br>
<br>
Then you can get the new version of the plugin using<br>
svn co <a href="http://svn.gis-lab.info/qgis-gdal-georef/" target="_blank">http://svn.gis-lab.info/qgis-gdal-georef/</a><br>
<br>
Other Options<br>
1. Create the GCP file using the qgis plugin. Then apply the gcps using<br>
the commandline (the gcps are all in the text file the plugin creates<br>
before you run the warp)<br>
gdal_translate -gcp<br>
<a href="http://gdal.org/gdal_translate.html" target="_blank">http://gdal.org/gdal_translate.html</a><br>
and/or gdalwarp if you need to reproject or rubbersheet at all,<br>
(I can vouch this method works fine for maps that are already projected,<br>
gdalwarp would be necessary for things like Air Photos or satellite imagery)<br>
<br>
2. Try <a href="http://labs.metacarta.com/rectifier/" target="_blank">http://labs.metacarta.com/rectifier/</a> if your data can be public<br>
<br>
3. Try GRASS <a href="http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/i.vpoints.html" target="_blank">http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/i.vpoints.html</a><br>
<br>
Hope that helps get you further,<br>
Alex<br>
