[GRASSLIST:315] RE: Compiling gdal with grass support: need help on '--with-grass=' p ointer

Thanks to all for your helpful ideas. I managed to get today's cvs complied
and running perfectly on the second try!

The error I made was not updating ld.so.conf with a line containing
'/usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs/lib' --that's all!

Matthew, yes I recomplied the GDAL-GRASS plugin as you mentioned.

NVIZ works great as well. Thanks again.

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

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.
