Data
- Can I map data from an arbitrary database model to work with GRASS without having to restructure or create a new database?
Technical
- GRASS 6 symbols - [README]
- GRASS 5.7 vector architecture - Vector Faq GRASS57
- Does GRASS57 installation override my stable GRASS5x installation? GRASS5x and 57
- Are GRASS 5.0.x/5.3.x/5.4.x raster maps compatible with GRASS57? Yes!
- How do I compile/install GRASS57? Compile and Install
Installation
GRASS 6 compilation problems
- Can't find a library even after I've built and installed it: Make sure that /usr/local/lib (or where you installed it) is listed in your /etc/ld.so.conf file and (as root) run /sbin/ldconfig.
- grass 5.7 compilation problems: - GRASS57 Compilation
- grass 5.3, 5.4 compilation problems: - GRASS53 Compilation
- How do I install grass in windows 2000: - WinGRASS Installation
GRASS and Cygwin
- How do I find the Cygwin packages to install? - Cygwin Packages
- Can't find pq.dll: Make sure you installed the PostgreSQL package in the Cygwin [installer].
- Can't find pq.dll : try copy cygpq.dll to pq.dll
Errors
- In a Latitude-Longitude location I'm getting the error Illegal latitude for North when importing an unprojected raster image: Unprojected images are given a resolution of 1 pixel per line, and so any image with a height of more than 90 pixels will try and write data to an impossible latitude.
Solution: import the image into a simple XY location and georeference the image with either r.region (if bounds are simple and known) or i.points and i.rectify. An automated alternative to r.region is to create a "World File" to be used by r.in.gdal. See the GeoTIFF format help page at [[1]].
