<div>I am confused about your question. You said "convert a .ecw
file to a tiled tiff file" but you also said <br>
"redo the .ecw with tiling". So do you want to read or write
an ecw? <br>

Oops, meant to say "redo the .ecw to .tiff with tiling."<br>

<div>If you have an existing tiff and just need to change it to
a tiled tiff and/or build overviews then that is pretty easy

Never thought of it that way round. Agree with you, should be much
easier.<br>

<div> If you need to write an ecw that's harder. If you can not
get the FWTools working on your distribution then you will
need to build gdal with ecw support, which requires getting
the ecw sdk. Licensing has gotten tighter on the ecw format
and it may be hard to get the sdk now. <br>

Have a copy of the old 3.3 version of the sdk, unfortunately it is
the windows version. Would rather stick to open formats.<br>

list.<br>
Well, I hope the list is still active.<br>
My problem is that I am unable to get FWTools-2.0.6 running
after<br>
completing ./sh.install. From the output in the console it
installs ok,<br>
but I cannot get it running.<br>
Now I know FWTools is long out of date and all that. But I
need it to<br>
convert a .ecw file to a tiled tiff file. I last did this
about 5 years<br>
ago but forgot to ad the tiling option in, the .tiff file
takes a bit<br>
long to adjust focus when zooming in or out because the
whole image is<br>
reprojected instead of just the area viewed. I had no need
to use the<br>
file a lot til now, so there was no pressing need to redo
the conversion.<br>
5 years ago it took about 10 hours on a Core2Duo laptop, ten
years ago<br>
it took 17 hours on a AMD dual core desktop. I've upgraded
recently and<br>
would like to redo the .ecw with tiling.<br>
<br>
I have cd'd into the bin_safe directory in the console and
entered the<br>
"sh openev" command, the "sh openev -h" command. Below I
copied the<br>
output from the console.<br>

So I found a old copy of FWTools on a old backup dvd,<br>

Very strange, error output are identical in both packages.<br>
<br>
Any ideas what is going on?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
