you need to have GDAL library compiled against libtiff >= 4.0 [1].

Hi,

Did you build gdal from source? When you compile gdal with internal libtiff or with libtiff >= 4.0, GDAL should supports reading and writing BigTIFF files (evolution of the TIFF format to support files larger than 4 GB).

You should also enable big file support when compiling grass I think, which you can set with ./configure --enable-largefile

If you use the default gdal install, it might not support big files. This is for example the case in Ubuntu (I think, didn’t check with 12.04 though). In that case you might want to compile gdal from source.

Cheers,

Paulo

GDAL uses by default its internal libtiff and supports BigTIFF, for a
couple of years in its stable versions. If you installed gdal with the
package manager of your Linux version, you would need to file a bug
report for your Linux version or compile GDAL yourself from source
with the default options for GTiff. If you compiled GDAL from source,
you may need to update to the latest stable version and compile with
the default options for GTiff.

HTH,
