+The GRASS support can be added to GDAL in two ways:
+ * as a built-in GRASS driver
+ * as a loadable GRASS driver plugin
+
+'''Note, following instructions apply to Linux and other environments where GNU autotools are available (autoconf, automake, make).'''
+
+== Building GDAL with built-in GRASS driver ==
+
+ * Download and install [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS] together with development files (headers and libraries). The easiest option is to use binary packages prepared for your Linux distribution.
+
+ * Download latest [wiki:DownloadSource#PackagedSource stable] or [wiki:DownloadSource#Subversion development] version of GDAL sources:
+
+{{{
+tar -zxf gdal-1.4.1.tar.gz
+cd gdal-1.4.1
+}}}
+
+ * Configure GDAL sources with GRASS support included:
+
+{{{
+./configure --with-grass=/usr/lib/grass
+}}}
+
+   and after ./configure finishes its job, you should see the GRASS driver enabled in the summary, like here:
+
+{{{
+GDAL is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
+
+  Installation directory:    /usr/local
+  C compiler:                gcc -O2 
+  C++ compiler:              g++ -O2 
+
+  LIBTOOL support:           yes
+
+  LIBZ support:              external
+  GRASS support:             grass57+
+...
+}}}
