[GRASS-user] Is Kyngesburye's binary for Mac GDAL compatible with GRASS 7?

I'm figuring out how to install GRASS 7 on my Mac (OS 10.8.3). According to
the instructions here:

http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/source/snapshot/INSTALL

GDAL should be compiled without GRASS support. I recently installed GDAL
using Kyngesburye's binary, as prerequisite to installing GRASS 6. My
question is, do I need to install another version of GDAL prior to
installing GRASS 7, and if so then are there issues with having multiple
versions installed?

Thanks,
Gregory

My GDAL is good for any GRASS that is built to use it, as long as you match the GDAL major version specified.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Thanks, William. Would you please explain what you meant when you wrote, ". .
. as long as you match the GDAL major version specified"? Is that a
parameter that I have to set in the compilation process? I'm new to this and
apologize if the question is terribly naive.

If you are installing binaries, there is no compilation involved by you. I meant if Barton's GRASS says my GDAL 1.9.2 (the current version), and I package a GDAL 1.9.3, that will also work, but a GDAL 1.10 will not.
