[GRASS-user] Importing e00 and running m.in.e00

Hi list,

I need import e00 files using Grass 6.0.2. When I look at the importing raster menu, I find nothing. Searching on the Internet made me aware of m.in.e00 (http://grass.itc.it/gdp/html_grass5/html/m.in.e00.html ) but when I try to run it from the command tool, I get this not found error "GRASS-GRID > m.in.e00 /bin/ksh: m.in.e00: not found".

GDAL does not support e00 files (http://gdal.org/formats_list.html).

I wanted to solve this simple issue myself and I'm sure this topic was discussed on many occasions, but I haven't found a way to search the list's archive (http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grassuser/). I also took a look at the GRASS wiki without any luck.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks Hamish :slight_smile:

Is there a reason why the AVCE00 library, required to run v.in.e00, is not installed by default with GRASS (6.0.2)?

Is there a reason why this v.in.e00 is not present in the File\Import\Raster map\ menu?

Have a nice day :slight_smile:

It should be mentioned that the CVS version of GDAL (OGR specifically) has native E00 support -- so in the long run, GRASS should probably phase out v.in.e00 for the more robust driver, v.in.ogr. Probably not for a few months yet, till a GDAL release is made, packages are made, et cetera.

It is an independently maintained external dependency. We don't have the
man-power to keep all external dependencies up to date within the grass
source code. (track all bug fixes, updates, etc) It is up to the binary
package maintainers to depend on/include/or suggest those.

It's in the File ->Import->vector map menu.

(v.* are for vectors, r.* for raster modules, etc)
