[GRASSLIST:1473] r.in.gdal segmentation fault!

GRASS GRASS user

Hi,

I am new on the list but I am successfuly using GRASS since some months.
Currently I have re-instaled system and I am using debian installed via knoppix.
I have two computers at work and at home. At work I have installed thae latest gdal (from deb packages) and grass from binary flies. And when I am trying to use r.in.gdal I am allways receiving
segmentation fault.
I have tried to work around by copying libgdal.1.1.so to /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib/grass5/lib but is is stil not working.
N.b. gdal is working without a problem!

At home I have compilled GRASS from sources and the situation is the same.
I know that this problem was already on the list but as I know there was no doresct solution.
Maybe someone can help me?!!!

Regards

Zbigniew

There was a correct solution: compile GRASS using the --with-gdal configure
option.

You might want to check if there is accidentally more than one copy of libgdal on your system, e.g. one in /usr/lib and one in /usr/local/lib. This might cause grass use the api from one and trying to link to the other, resulting in problems.

Cheers,

Thanks for advice.

I have just checked it but the problem still remains .... I will try wit recompilation.

Hi all,
thanks for all advices.
Problem was solved by compilation from source. Then I have only to create sym link from /usr/local/grass/5/lib/ to place where libgdal is located

If you have only the binaries available another solution would be to use a
very old GDAL (it appears to be the latest versions that have the
problems). I don't know where you could obtain that from though.

However, compiling with the --with-gdal configure option is *the* way of
fixing this for now.
