[GRASS-user] BigTiff files in Grass

I am trying to import a raster (geotiff) in Grass with size of 64 GB . It makes me an error like this:

ERROR 4: This is a BigTIFF file. BigTIFF is not supported by this version of GDAL and libtiff.

I have read that I have to compile again the GDAL library, but I don’t know how to do it. Can someone help me?

Please let us know which operating system you are using.

In general, you may simply enable the GDAL-internal geotiff:

./configure \
  --with-geotiff=internal --with-libtiff=internal
...

With more details we may be better able to help.
