Markus & Hamish,
As you suspected, there was a problem with a 2nd gdal installation. The
environment I am working in, is a networked environment with many NSF
mounts to local workstations and servers. I am required to put any new
GRASS (or other software, including gdal) installations in a
non-standard location, one which is accessible to any user logged into
any of the networked computers. It turns out that there is also an older
GRASS installation (6.2.2) on all machines in /usr/local, which is built
on version 1.4.x of gdal. Even though when building GRASS using
./configure, the older gdal libraries were being used by my new install
of GRASS 6.4 and r.in.gdal. So, I suppose the older version of gdal
1.4.x did not support GRIB.
I'm still confused why the older gdal libs were being used rather than
my newer vesion. Is this a LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue or what? To get
r.in.gdal to import the GRIB files, I have pointed the /usr/local/gdal
directory to the newer gdal install I built rather than the older version.
Thanks again for your help!
Tom

I have (re-)compiled GRASS 6.4 to try and ensure that I am getting
grib support in gdal within GRASS. When I attempt to import a grib
file using r.in.gdal, I get an error and GRASS tells me that the file
format is not recognized and is not supported. When I list the
supported file formats for r.in.gdal, I can not find grib listed as a
supported file format. OK, this seems to make sense, except that I
did link to gdal (which I built from source) and if I run: gdalinfo
gribfilename.grb, I get very reasonable output about the file. So, I
don't understand why gdalinfo recognizes my grib file, yet GRASS
linked against gdal does not list grib as a supported file format and
does not recognizes my grib file.
Tom,
please check with
ldd `which r.in.gdal`
ldd `which gdalinfo`
which GDAL libs are used. Perhap you have two installations on the
machine?
