[GRASS-user] Building gdal for use with grass and MrSid

Hi

I have to compile gdal from source as I need MrSid support (I have a huge number of MrSid files and I don't have enough HDD space to convert them to geotiff...). Therefore I have to compile gdal myself. As I want to have the same functuonality of GRASS 6 with gdal, I am wondering: which options should I set to get a gdal with all the "standard" functuanality as in the SuSE 10.2 package.

I would compile gdal 1.4.4 with MrSid support from source and use checkinstall to create the rpm which I would then install.

In addition: I have four rpms with gdal installed, namely

libgdal0-1.4.2-2.1
libgdal-devel-1.4.2-2.1
libgdal-grass-1.4.1-1.7
gdal-1.4.2-2.1

would any of the libgdal packages affected when I install gdal from source? If yes, how can I compile and install them?

Thanks,

Rainer

I have created deb packages for gdal in a couple of ocasions, for a similar reason (get ecw support). When you finish packaging, you get all gdal packages for the version you are compiling, except libgdal-grass, which normally is compatible with the others.

I hope this help.
