Hi, can someone help me?
I want to import a .ecw file into GRASS.
Importing via GRASS (6.0.1) by: file > Import > Raster map > Multiple
formats using GDAL
I get the error message
r.in.gdal input = file name.ecw output = new file name
ERROR 4: file name.ecw not recognised as a supported file format.
I would be very greatful for any help interpreting this error message
I have tried the gdal-dev mailing list and even to convert files, using
the gdal commands downloaded directly from their site, in my terminal
window.
Thanks in advance
Carla

Since GRASS uses GDAL as the import-library GDAL needs to be compiled
against the ECW-libs. You can check if GDAL has ECW-support by using
gdalinfo --formats|grep -i ECW
I get the error message
r.in.gdal input = file name.ecw output = new file name
ERROR 4: file name.ecw not recognised as a supported file format.
you GDAL-version does not suppport ECW-files. Depending on your
plattform you need to rebuild GDAL with ECW-support. See [1] for more
information.

ECW support on Linux is spotting because the ECW library is primarily
for Windows. There are people that have got the ECW compiled on Linux,
but I am not one of them.
If you have access to a Windows machine, install FWTools from:
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/
And use gdal_translate to convert from ECW to TIFF, or some other
format supported by GRASS.
