[GRASS-user] Problems importing a common GeoTIFF

GRASS GRASS user
,

Dear all,

Recently I have installed a fresh installation of GRASS 6.4 (weekly snapshot) with gdal-1.7.1 on a regularly updated Fedora 12. The import of common geotiff data that previously (quite old installation) seemed to work now yield empty rasters (r.report => only no data). I tried the binary format
as well as to single band (grayscale - 8 bit) converted tifs. The command used is as plain as it can get.

r.in.gdal in=bla.tif out=bla

Any hints appreciated.

Did you run
g.region rast=bla -p

before? r.report is region sensitive.

I did run 'g.region rast=bla' beforehand. The problem was I missed the fact that a MASK layer was present obviously not including the area of the GeoTIFF layer. Thanks for pointing the possibility of region problems.

Best regards

Dear all,

I am trying to install Grass7 on my Fedora12 but I always have the same error message:

I was logged as root (in this case, using su in a console window, but I tried even logged as root on a KDE GUI and logged as root in command line mode (init3).

Can you point to me what I am doing wrong?
