Hi, I'm a grass beginner and am running into a problem with r.in.gdal. Whenever I try to import a file, I receive the following error:
GBBridgeInitialize() failed to find an suitable GDAL .DLL/.so file.
The following filenames were searched for:
o libgdal.1.1.so
o gdal.1.0.so
o gdal.so.1.0
o libgdal.so.1The following locations were searched:
o /usr/local/grass53/lib
o System default locations.
Grant,
Try downloading the GDAL at Rich Greenwood's site (www. greenwoodmap.com). Rich maintains binaries of GRASS for Cygwin. I believe that he has a binary GDAL for windows, including the needed *.dll.
Here is what one of my student's worked out this past Spring about where it needs to go.
Yes, I got r.in.gdal to work. Here is what I had to do:
-->Place the libgdal.1.1.dll file into WINNT/system folder
- then I got an error that "cygjpeg-62.dll" wasn't found,
-->so I reinstalled the jpeg library from cygwin- then I got an error that "cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll" couldn't be found,
-->so I had to reinstall the openssl/openssl-0.9x libraries (I chose all three
or so of them)Then GRASS r.in.gdal decided to work for me. Now I just have to figure out
which data I actually wanted to import with this!
ERROR: Unable to initialize GDAL bridge (check libgdal
installation/LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable).
mail: not foundI am running Grass53 in Cygwin in Windows XP Pro. The version of GDAL that I built from source is 1.2.1. Thanks in advance.
Hope this is helpful
