Re: [OSSIM] Direction on how to install on Ubuntu 22.04

[Trey W. <tre...@gm...>]

Dave! Thank you so much for the response!

I have the GDAL plugin, but I must not have compiled the plugin correctly.
The gdalinfo command can read it fine, but ossim-info does not. I’m
assuming that implies that the gdal plugin configuration was not setup
correctly.

I will check the configuration. Can you help guide me on what
directory/library might be missing/not getting specified?

Thanks,
Trey Winbush
