The USGS national hydrographic dataset (NHD) by states is available only
as a FileGeoDataBase (FileGDB). When I look on the GDAL/OGR Web site I see
that the Personal (PGDB) format is supported, but I don't see that the FGDB
is.
My attempt to subscribe to the gdal-dev list to ask was rejected (I cannot
subscribe because I'm not a subscriber. Go figure.)
Has anyone here experience with the FGDB and know how to import it to
GRASS? The state data set I need is about 434M zipped and will take a while
to download via my DSL connection.
The current problem is that anything outside of ESRI licensing couldnt access the FGDB. They have recently released a linux api for the format, though I assume that eventually there will be something that works. I believe there are some features on the NHD that cannot be done on the Personal geodatabase, hence using the FGDB. Your best bet is to ask if they can give you another format or find someone with a ESRI license.

That subscription rejection is odd, I'll see if someone can look into that.
As for you're other question, now that the FileGDB api has been released
for Windows & Linux (couple of months ago, and 2 weeks ago) I believe
there is some code in the GDAL svn to support it. Though it's likely
very rough around the edges and probably requires that you compile gdal
yourself. I actually don't know it's specific status, just saw some
conversations that work was being done on it.
Now to try and get you on the gdal list where that conversation is
likely to happen.

Alex,
When the cursor hovered over the link it read mailto: ... so that's what I
did. I thought it was a majordomo MLM that wanted only the word subscribe in
the body of the text.

I'll start Opera downloading that huge file and be very willing to work
with the devs testing the code. I've several projects in Nevada dependent on
hydrologic basins of different resolutions as well as streams in those
basins. I'll be a happy tester.
Now to try and get you on the gdal list where that conversation is likely
to happen.
Thanks. You have my e-mail address.
Rich
