[GRASS-user] WinGRASS: Error when importing GRIB files

GRASS GRASS user

Hi

I'm using WinGRASS (6.4.1) in Osgeo4w and I'm having a problem in the import of GRIB files. I'm using r.in.gdal, as I have used in Linux, and I'm obtaining the following error:
ERROR 4: `C:\Data\GISDataBase\GRIB_codes\new03.grib' not
recognised as a supported file format.

What might be missing?
Thanks
Antonio

Olá António

On my windows VM, I have an older osgeo4w install, that hasn't got
GRIB support available. Maybe thats your problem as well? Run the
command

gdalinfo --formats

through the osgeo4w shell. Look for the GRIB format at the output.
If you cannot find a line that says GRIB there, your GDAL doesn't
support it, and GRASS won't be able to read it, as it depends on GDAL.

Hello
Thanks Ricardo. That is the problem. My GDAL, installed withg OSGEO4w is not able to open/process GRIB files.
Has anyone changed GDAL version in OSGEO4w in Windows?
Thanks
