Not sure why gdal isn't picked up, but as the developers are very quick to point out, it is almost pointless for users to bother installing and linking GDAL to Xastir. Xastir does *nothing* with GDAL for rasters, and has very, very limited support for vector data through the OGR library (part of GDAL) There was a plan to make Xastir use GDAL for rasters, but it never got finished. > [1]http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_14.04 You can link gdal to Xastir by following the instructions. But it buys you nothing. That is why the instructions say "most users won't need it," and why the section in "Install GDAL" says "This is an entirely optional install, and is pretty much unnecessary.[...]It is recommended that the casual user skip this step." > On Sun, May 10, 2015 at 9:02 PM, Hal Mueller <[2][email protected]> wrote: > > What's the algorithm for deciding to dump/clear the cache?
