I have a problem related to the previous discussion about "BSQ import question" : actually, I plan to import exactly the same database in GRASS5 and following the answer that you gave, I installed gdalinfo and I tried:
ERROR 4: `gl-latlong-1km-landcover.bsq' not recognised as a supported file format.

Sorry if you receive it twice.

[ The question was how to import a BSQ file into GRASS.
I'll suggest to create an ENVI hdr file ]

Yes, I know, use i.tape.other. :^)
The problem (hopefully) is that I do not know some of the particulars
which i.tape.other requires. The file to import is
gl-latlong-1km-landcover.bsq
from
http://glcfapp.umiacs.umd.edu:8080/esdi/index.jsp
The global land cover file is at:

This is relevant for the definition of the location.
See 'gl-latlong-1km-landcover.grasslocation.txt' attachment for details.
Some of you are probably familiar with this. Assuming this, I
have a few questions from GRASS 5.3.
[...]
Any ideas? Has anyone worked with this data set? I'm running this on
a linux box, if it matters.
Use r.in.gdal instead. It's way easier. You just have to generate
a BSQ ENVI header file, then import the map (find attached the file).
I hope I got that file right, following
http://glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/data/guide/fileformat/bsq.shtml
=> RSI ENVI 3.6
However, I didn't set bands = 14 but bands = 1
Now check with 'gdalinfo':
gdalinfo -mm gl-latlong-1km-landcover.bsq
Driver: ENVI/ENVI .hdr Labelled
Size is 43200, 21600
Coordinate System is:
LOCAL_CS["Geographic Lat/Lon",
UNIT["Meter",1]]
Origin = (-180.000000,90.000000)
Pixel Size = (0.00833333,-0.00833333)
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left (-180.0000000, 90.0000000)
Lower Left (-180.0000000, -90.0000000)
Upper Right ( 180.0000000, 90.0000000)
Lower Right ( 180.0000000, -90.0000000)
Center ( -0.0000000, 0.0000000)
Band 1 Block=43200x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Undefined
Computed Min/Max=0.000,13.000
IMHO the projection is not detected completely by GDAL,
or should it be LOCAL_CS?
If you prefer, you can also make it a GeoTIFF file,
fixing the projection description in this moment:
gdal_translate -a_srs '+init=esri:37008' \
gl-latlong-1km-landcover.bsq gl-latlong-1km-landcover.tif
gdalinfo -mm gl-latlong-1km-landcover.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Size is 43200, 21600
Coordinate System is:
GEOGCS["unnamed ellipse",
DATUM["unknown",
SPHEROID["unnamed",6370997,1]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
UNIT[,0.0174532925199433]]
Origin = (-180.000000,90.000000)
Pixel Size = (0.00833333,-0.00833333)
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left (-180.0000000, 90.0000000)

Then import:
