Is boost complaining? Are you required to do --with-boost=no? If so, I should fix that, boost is not a requirement to build the library at this time.


Yes, boost is complaining, when I try a simple ./configure

checking for boostlib >= 1.20.0... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.20 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.

guh, you probably need a trunk-ish GDAL.

can do. please stand by.



Are there plans to move the las2ogr into the ogr library?


Not at this point. I'm skeptical it would be any more convenient to be in the GDAL tree with las2ogr, las2ogr is developing quite rapidly still, and las2ogr is not at all in OGR's code style and would likely have to be rewritten a bit to satisfy the OGR style gods.



ah... I work with ogr2ogr from the command line, and have added some features I would like to get into that repos.

I forgot what my original problem was... oh yeah, do I understand correctly, that the capability to write to Postgresql databases exists in las2ogr?

I need to do something like:

las2ogr -a -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=localhost dbname=testing" lidar.las

add the append switch, rather than dump and create a new table (or something like it)...

How much effort do you think that would take? Right now, I'm hacking scripts to dump the last file to a shapefile, then dumping the shapefile to an sql script, then importing the resulting sql dump into the database.

Thanks again,

Jeff.
