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

  I wanted to know how can I change GDAL version in OSGEO4W in order to
have r.in.gdal able to import GRIB data. has anyone tried? if so,
what/how can I do that?

have you tried gdalinfo --formats on the osgeo4w-shell?

here on my computer, osgeo4w last updated in the middle of November, I get

gdalinfo --formats
[...]
GRIB (rov): GRIdded Binary (.grb)
[...]

and a little test with Grass64 delivered by osgeo4w in a wgs84-location:

r.in.gdal -e --verbose input=J:\download\30112010_0000\30112010_0000.grb output=testgrb
[...]
r.in.gdal komplett. Rasterkarte <testgrb.170> erzeugt.
r.in.gdal komplett. Rasterkarte <testgrb.171> erzeugt.
(Tue Nov 30 10:27:42 2010) Befehl ausgeführt (3 sec)

the grib-file was imported.

maybe can you update your osgeo4w and try it again.

best regards
Helmut
