Re: [udig-users] Georeferencing

[Mathieu Baudier <mbaudier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

thanks for your reply!

I installed JGrass and started having a look at it.
I must say I have quite a hard time since I'm not familiar with GRASS at all.

My problem is that I don't succeed in importing some data in the
location/mapsets I have created, in order to have something to look
at.

I downloaded data from:
http://www.grassbook.org/data_menu3rd.php
http://www.grassbook.org/ncexternal/index.html
but could not import them...

I will keep digging ;), but if somebody has a small, easy to import,
dataset to point me to, I'll be very grateful.

BeeGIS doesn't seem to have a georeferencer as such (as far as I can
see from http://www.beegis.org/), but I'm very interested in the GPS
and Geonotes tools for other purposes.

Last, a JGrass installation note when SELinux is activated (default on
CentOS and Fedora):

You need to give the embedded JVM the proper SELinux context:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
~/dev/tools/jgrass-1.1.x-build20090802085024/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so

otherwise it won't let you start JGrass.

Cheers,

Mathieu
