Following Dylan's tutorial (http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/grass_user_group/)
on getting Grass cvs installed, I got surprisingly far before running into a
compile error:
Downloaded latest cvs from repository into /usr/local
compiled gdal --without-grass, no problems (used the script on Dylan's site)
./configure for grass cvs, all dependencies met:
./configure --with-png=internal --with-jpeg=internal \
--with-gif=internal --with-libtiff=internal \
--with-geotiff=internal --with-libz=internal\
--without-pg --without-ogdi --with-python \
--with-threads=yes --without-grass \
--enable-largefile
make
make install
ldconfig
And no problems. Now I'm trying to configure gdal with grass support, again,
using the script provided on Dylan's site:
./configure --with-png=internal --with-jpeg=internal \
--with-gif=internal --with-libtiff=internal \
--with-geotiff=internal --with-libz=internal\
--without-pg --without-ogdi --with-python \
--with-threads=yes --with-grass=/usr/local/grass6/
and received error message:
configure: error: --with-grass=/usr/local/grass6/ requested, but libraries
not found!
So where should the '--with-grass' flag be pointing to? I've read
conflicting information on the archives that the path inserted for this flag
should be everything from the binary
(/usr/local/grass6/bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu/grass61) to a symlink in /usr/lib
that points to grass libs somewhere else.
I'm able to run grass-cvs normally, except of course I can't use r.*.gdal,
but everything else seems fine so far.

Eric,
When you compile GRASS, are you sure it's picking up on you local
installation of GDAL? Try explicitly setting
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config
Also, instead of recompiling GDAL, I think the prefered method is to
use the GDAL-GRASS plugin. It's fairly simple once you have gdal and
grass installed, though I think it only works for recent (> 1.3.1 )
versions of gdal:
==========
wget "http://www.gdal.org/dl/gdal-grass-1.3.1.2.tar.gz"
tar -xzvf gdal-grass-1.3.1.2.tar.gz
cd gdal-grass-1.3.1/
./configure --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config
--with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs

Look at GDAL's config.log file for error messages; that should provide
some clues as to exactly what went wrong.
Error messages which configure scripts show to the user are often
misleading; e.g. "X not found" usually means "a test program which
tried to use X failed for some reason.
One potential issue is that the most recent versions of GRASS install
their headers in $GISBASE/include/grass/*.h, but GDAL expects to find
the headers as <grass dir>/include/*.h and won't let you specify a
specific path. If that is the problem, you will need to populate
$GISBASE/include with symlinks, e.g.
cd $GISBASE/include
ln -s grass/*.h .

Eric,
Ahh.. I might need to update this, or take it down to point to some newer
directions. Sorry about any mis-information that this page might have
dispensed.
Cheers,
Dylan
