r.in.ascii

Hi dear GRASS users:

I am having troubles importing files from idrisi, and hereby securing helps from
you.

I have exported idrisi files using ascii raster format. And then I edited the
file (deleting the first two lines of projection and zone, so there are six
lines as the header). After ftp them to GRASS, I ran r.in.ascii. Everything
looked okay. However, when I tried to display it, it was blank--three or four
non-sense colorful lines at the top, and elsewhere was just white. I checked the
file under cellhd directory. It reads:
   proj: 1
   zone: 16
   north: 4386270
   south: 4351770
   east: 730110
   west: 686490
   cols: 1454
   rows: 1150
   e-w resol: 30
   n-s resol: 30
   format: 0
   compressed: 1
   
Actually it is in UTM 16, and it is within the current region. I am not sure of
the last sentence. Does it mean that the file is compressed so that GRASS could
not process it correctly?

I also tried to export from idrisi using binary format, which produces two
directories--cell and cellhd, each containing one file of the same name. In
grass I then ran r.support to get a color table for it. However, this time it
was even worse--I couldn't get the file done.

I am stuck. Could someone give me some hints? Thanks a lot in advance.

Dear Houxiang,
I had also some problems when exchanging maps from Idrisi to Grass but now
it works. I used Idrisi for Windows 1.0 and Grass 4.1.
It is correct to delete the first two line of the Idrisi output-data-file
and to use ASCII-data-format.
I did not use UTM but Transverse Mercator and Geographic projection (proj
3 and 99). I solved my problem by changing the format of east/west and
north/south data. (Idrisi format does not fit Grass format, so errors
occured). So I would suggest check the digits of your input by g.region.

Good luck,
Stephan

Dear Houxiang
I have never done importing files from IDRISI to GRASS, but when I tried
import *.tif files into GRASS a problem was occured by current mask at my
location. So try to remove a mask from your location by r.mask.
Good luck,

GRASS community-

  It seems that my i.fft and i.ifft are not working on my Linux
machine. I am getting a "G_malloc out of memory" error when I try to run
them.

I have compiled these binaries from the 4.1.5 source found on "moon". My
system is Linux 2.0 (Slackware). Most other commands compile and work as
expected.

What's wrong and how might I fix it?
