[Gdal-dev] Personal Geodatabase - Unknown Geometry

[Stuart Eve]

Dear all

I have been attempting to get the PGeo driver up and running on a
Suse10.1 box using gdal-1.4.0, mdbtools-6pre1 and unixODBC 2.2.12.

After some helpful conversations with Mateusz I managed to get the
odbc.ini set up right etc. However, now when I run an ogrinfo on the
geodatabase it never seems to find the geometry type - and therefore
when I try to show the features using mapserver all I get is an empty
map. I have tried it on 3 different geodatabases (8.2 and 9.x) with the
same result.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Stuart

my ogrinfo output from (ogrinfo pgeo:DNSNAME Objects) is below:
