[GRASS-user] i.photo.camera is missing

Hi,
so far I checked several possibilities to install different revisions of Grass 6.4.x (6.4.3 and 6.4.2) under Ubuntu 10.4 through ubuntu synaptic package manager either with the default ubuntu repositories as well as launchpad ppa. I even did the worst and upgraded to Ubuntu 12.4.! With all efforts I experience that there is no described way to generate a camera-file for orthorectification. Yet to compile from source was not successfull. While configuration the script can not determin the place of the tcl-includes (tcl.h exist in /usr/include), and there is no possibility to configure the location of tcl.h ...

Anyway, after messing my system with Ubuntu 12.4 I ended up installing Linuxmint 15, hoping to find diffenret install sources. Now I have an installation 6.4.2 showing the same behaviour as I mentioned in my first mail (i.photo.camera exists in $GIS_BASE/etc and can be started with /usr/lib/grass64/etc/i.photo.camera, but starts the i.ortho.photo-modul).

Is there anyone working successfully with i.ortho.photo (grass 6.4)? Othrwise can I create a camera-file in any different way, maybe even with a text-editor (if so is there a specification how the file has to be assembled)?

Thanks for you concerns.

Best regards.

Stefan

Yes.

You may take a look at this GRASS book chapter:

Hi Markus,
thanks, for the hint ... actually I allready bought the book before years. And thats the main reason, I knew about the capabilities of grass concerning orthorectification. Only the book is in the office and I am at the clients office currently. So I just was dump enough to believe that the camera-file should exist already when starting the process.
Entering the filename did the trick...

thanks, and sorry for bothering you with frills and furbelows

cheers

Stefan
