[GRASS-user] Missing database drivers

I am reading “Open Source GIS”, and the authors recommend using SQLite. When I type

Db.drivers –p

I get

Dbf

Ogr

(These should be all small letters, but my email has auto-correct turned on, and it keeps changing the starting letters to upper case.)

How does on load new database drivers? I am using GRASS 6.4 on a Linux 64 system.

Thanks!

Tim

Have you used your linux distro to install grass (apt, yum, emerge, etc)?
You can always compile GRASS with sqlite option:
