[GRASS-user] Error configuring grass-gdal 1.3.2: grass libs not found

GRASS GRASS user

I recently had to recompile gdal so that support for ECW was enabled. I decided since I was changing my compile line, I would upgrade from gdal-1.3.2 to gdal-1.4.0 in the process. I ran make distclean in my gdal-1.3.2 directory, then configure, make, and make install in gdal-1.4.0, all of which proceeded without errors. gdalinfo --formats reports a normal listing of supported file types. Grass compiles and installs normally as well.

The trouble lies with the gdal-grass plugin. An error occurs during compilation, reporting

configure: error: --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs requested, but libraries not found! Perhaps you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/lib?

However, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to include my Grass installation driectory:

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/IVS/lib:/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/

My /etc/ld.so.conf also includes my Grass lib directory:

$cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/bin
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/atlas
/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/lib

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

~ Eric.

Eric,

This suggestion is just a perhaps. Generally it means things failed
to link and you can dig into the config.log to find out details. I
suspect the problem is that grass is built against the old GDAL so
attempts to link the driver against grass libraries fails because the
old gdal library can't be found.

If that is the problem, you may need to rebuild and install GRASS using
the new GDAL libraries before trying to rebuild the grass-gdal driver.

Best regards,

I tried rebuilding Grass (make distcleaning first) and reinstalling the gdal plugin with the same error. What's the recommended way of starting from scratch so that all gdal-related files are removed?

The last entry needs to have "lib" appended.

My /etc/ld.so.conf also includes my Grass lib directory:

/usr/X11R6/lib

Have you run ldconfig since adding the last line? ld.so.conf itself
has no effect upon anything except ldconfig; it's the ld.so.cache file
which ldconfig generates that is actually used for locating shared
libraries.

Glynn,

The last entry needs to have "lib" appended.

Done. Despite this change, gdal-grass still complains it can't find the libs.

Have you run ldconfig since adding the last line? ld.so.conf itself
has no effect upon anything except ldconfig; it's the ld.so.cache file
which ldconfig generates that is actually used for locating shared
libraries.

I tried this as well, still no luck. If it matters, the only configure flags I'm passing gdal-grass are --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config and with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs
For the 'with-grass' portion, you only need to pass the root directory of the Grass installation, and configure picks up the libs directory on its own, correct?

I also checked /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins, and that directory is empty, so the problem can't be old Grass plugins hanging around.

I tried that line as you suggested to no avail. Again the plugin complains it can't see my grass libs.

Eric,

Look into this thread:

Maybe there's some help.

Thanks to everyone for their replies, the issue I was having with my gdal plugin not compiling was that I had two versions of geos installed (unbeknownst to me). Removing one allowed the plugin to compile normally.

Thanks guys!
