[Gdal-dev] problems with shapefiles produced with fme translator

[Ed McNierney]

Are you copying all three components of the shapefile - the .shp, .dbf, and .shx files?  A shapefile isn't only one file.

Subject: [Gdal-dev] problems with shapefiles produced with fme translator

Hi all,
   I'm working in a city map, and i have an autocad files with all information. I'm using fme to translate AutoCad -> Shapefile, but i have a problem. Fme work perfectly and i can see all the files generated by it with ForestyGis, Arcview 3.3 and MapMaker 3.5. But when i copy this file to linux and i try to do "#ogrinfo -al Textos1_line.shp", the result is the next:
           Unable to open datasource 'Textos1_line.shp with the following drivers:
         -> ESRI Shapefile
         -> UK .NTF
         ..........
         ..........

   When i make shapefile with ArcView, no problem, ogrinfo works, and i can see it with mapserver. But when the shapefile was maden with fme, it doesn't work. The file produced by fme have 13888 features and the .shp file have 2.34 MB, Are too many????. I have installed gdal-1.2.3 and i'm working with mapserver 4.2.5 and Maplab 2.2. Why can i see it with gdal and OGR??????????. Thanks to all.
