Hi all,
During WinGRASS 6.3.0 testings I encontered a problem with the r.in.gdal
module: it reports no errors, and correctly import rasters, but fails creating
the projection for the new location created during raster import.
I explain better with an example: I imported an SRTM tile, to be imported in a
new location named "test", with the following command line:
r.in.gdal {input=C:/Documents and Settings/Marco/Documenti/GIS Data
Repository/SRTM v3.0 DEM 90m/Z_39_3.ASC} output=Z_39_3.dem location=test
At the end of the Run it reports as follows in the output window:
Location <test> created
r.in.gdal complete.
After that I exit GRASS and I restart it accessing the location test: the
raster have been correctly imported, the region set to the raster boundaries,
but if type:
g.proj -j
it reports
XY (unprojected)
talking in IRC with a linux huy, I asked him to do the same command using the
same raster with GRASS-6.3.0SVN: the location test, for him, has a correct
projection (that is latlong wgs84 and so on...). So I guess that is a windows
problem, but I don't really know why since the command doesn't report errors!
any suggestions?
This said I have another question for you: I have linux (ubuntu) installed on
my system with xual boot along with xp pro sp2, but it's really impossible to
me to always reboot within the two systems to make tests, so today I decided to
install VMware with an ubuntu (8.04) virtual machine. I would use this VM to
make tests on GRASS and directly check if WinGRASS problems are strictly
referred to windows platform or to other problems. Now I have a doubt:
1. Install GRASS from a destributed package or
2. Manually compile and install all the needed dependencies (if not already
intalled, obviously) with the same support configuration as I did for the
current WinGRASS release, in order to check if WinGRASS errors are generated by
dependency issues and not by platform problems?
Thanks for your help,
Regards
Marco
