Dear Frank, After some extensive research, I discovered this:
qwer...@qwerkus-desktop:~$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/gdalwarp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95391 2009-08-14 20:20 /usr/local/bin/gdalwarp qwer...@qwerkus-desktop:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/gdalwarp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31608 2009-03-10 00:32 /usr/bin/gdalwarp Looks like your were right: it is an installation problem: looks like the installation script doesn't put gdal in the sam directory as the ubuntu package manager. Now, here comes another problem: By invoquing /usr/local/bin/gdalwarp, I have this error message: gdalwarp: error while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Although, by launching gdalwarp from the compilation directory (in scr/apps), It works fine INCLUDING BIGTIFF option. How can I fix the linking problem ? Thanks for your patience, Felix Schalck 2009/8/14 Frank Warmerdam <warmer...@pobox.com>: > On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 1:09 PM, Felix Schalck<felix.scha...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Well, I did the whole procedure again, after cleaning, and checked the >> installed version with: >> >> $gdal-config >> >> Result: >> >> 1.6.2 >> >> Looks like the correct version is installed, so that I'm quite lost. > > Felix, > > This is not really that conclusive as a way of ensuring you > are using your new build but I don't know what else to suggest. > >> Notice that I found a similar problem on the mailing list archive here: >> >> http://n2.nabble.com/Trying-to-get-BIGTIFF-to-work-td2035106.html >> >> But the mail reamains unclear about the way to solve it.
