[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr .SHP to .KML conversion problem

[Mattias Carlsson]

Thanks, that says version is 1.5.4. I guess an upgrade might do the trick. However, as I am very green in Linux, I have yet to compile my first source and would appreciate any simpler way, i.e. pre-compiled binaries. Is there any such way, or any good reference for learning necessary basics regarding compilation?  /Mattias

Use gdal_translate --version
Since you told me that you are using GDAL version 1.5.0 from December 2007, I suggest that you upgrade to GDAL 1.7.0 from January 2010. Greg

I am trying to learn how to use ogr2ogr to convert a shapefile to kml, but fail to do so and cannot understand whether I am at all on the right track or completely lost (very much beginner in GIS). I would like to convert either, or all, of the files on <http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/LandandDevelopment/DDC/GasElectricNW/undergroundcables/shape/> to .kml and try using

>ogr2ogr -f "KML" LINE.kml LINE.shp

but get a buffer overflow (I can send a backtrace if this would help):

>*** buffer overflow detected ***: ogr2ogr terminated

(btw, I am using Ubuntu 9.10)

Apologies if this is the wrong forum or totally basic, but after many frustrations I am getting desperate and, please, please, guide me in the right direction...

Thanks!
