Troubleshooting VirtualPlanetBuilder and osgDEM

VirtualPlanetBuilder is a very sophisticated and powerful tool that relies on many third-party open-source packages including OSG, which itself relies on even more third-party packages. All of these packages must be in sync in order for VPB to operate properly.

All Platforms

* VPB must be kept in sync with the OSG shared libraries (.so/DLL/etc) from release it was compiled against.

* VPB source is frequently tied to a particular release of OSG and will only compile with the release it was concurrent with. Typicall the SVN head version of VPB will require the SVN head version of OSG.

* Some GDAL builds or binary releases/packages may not have support for all raster data formats (like ECW) compiled in. Frank Warmerdam's [FWTools] typically has everything you'll need.

* Warnings about

Error: do not have write permission to write out file output.ive
Caught exception : Error: do not have write permission to write out file output.ive 

usually indicate that [OSG cannot find the reader/writer plug-ins necessary] to write your output scene graph.
