Hi, I have a problem making GDAL work with ECW files on Fedora Linux 17. Here are the steps I did following the instructions on: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW 1. I downloaded, installed and compiled libecwj 3.3 library 2. I downloaded the source of gdal 1.9.1 3. I ran ./configure --with-ecw, make and make install 4. gdalinfo --formats now includes ECW 5. However, I have a problem opening any ECW file with GDAL. For example, I downloaded the sample ECW files from http://www.terracolor.net/sample_imagery.htmlhttp:// http://www.terracolor.net/sample_imagery.html . One of the files is called Terracolor_SanFrancisco_US_15m.ecw When I run gdalinfo Terracolor_SanFrancisco_US_15m.ecw I get a weird error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error' what(): basic_string::_S_create Aborted (core dumped) Other file types such as tiff or asc open with GDAL correctly. Was anybody able to get GDAL running with ECW support on Linux? Should I try to use the KAKADU library with GDAL instead of libecwj? Any suggestions are welcome. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/ECW-support-on-Fedora-Linux-error-tp4991388.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
