<br class="">
Hi list<br class="">
<br class="">
Complete NEWBIE here, so apologies.<br class="">
<br class="">
I am trying to install QGIS to allow me to view / convert ecw mapping files.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have downloaded the latest 2.6 version for mac - I am using OSX 10.10 Yosemite.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have downloaded the GDAL 1.11 Complete framework files and followed the instructions to install the other dependancies. I have downloaded the ECW plugin1.11.0-1 and ERDAS ECW/JPEG2000 SDK 5.1 and followed install instructions to place certain files throughout my directory structure.<br class="">
<br class="">
QGIS runs fine, however, when I go to open the ECW map - it is grayed out - indicating to me I cant open it.<br class="">
<br class="">
Something is broken, or incompatible given I am using Yosemite ?<br class="">
<br class="">
Can someone help ? Is there a command line method to check my install ? I thought I followed all the instructions but it isn't working and I have an urgent file I need to convert..<br class="">
<br class="">
Help !!<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
