[GRASSLIST:1601] Missing Commands

GRASS GRASS user

Hi All-

This may have been covered ad nausem, but I am a newbie...

I have build and installed Grass5.0.3rc3 on Gentoo Linux, most
functionality works, however, r.in.tiff returns a message of "Command
not found". However, when I look in the /usr/local/grass5/bin/
directory, the executable is there.

What gives?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

I can not directly answer your question, but I think r.in.gdal is a better way to import tiff's, and just about any other raster data.

Off topic - are you really with Backpacker Magazine? I was a Pacific Crest Trail and Appalachian Trail thru hiker in a past life, so your email address caught my eye.

Is there anything listed in grass-5.0.3rc3/error.log ?

What did it say when you ran ./configure?
e.g.
...
checking for location of TIFF includes...
checking for tiffio.h... yes
checking for location of JPEG library...
checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... yes
checking whether to use PNG... yes
checking for location of PNG includes...
checking for png.h... yes
checking for location of PNG library...
checking for png_read_image in -lpng... yes
checking whether to use GD... yes
checking for location of GD includes...
checking for gd.h... yes
checking for location of GD library...
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd... yes
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd... yes
checking for gdImageGif in -lgd... no
checking for gdImageCreateTrueColor in -lgd... yes
...

Is GRASS emerge'd or did you do it by hand? (curiosity)

Is r.in.tiff in /usr/local/grass5/etc/bin/cmd/ ?

Apart from the other suggestions, please note that
GRASS5.0.3rc5 is there and could need some testing, too.
