[Gdal-dev] strange shapefile DBF error

[Dylan Beaudette]

Greetings,

recently installed gdal-1.2.6 and mapserver-4.4.2 on a slackware 10 box.

trying to access a simple shapefile with ogrinfo yields an 'illegal 
instruction' after only 1 record in the shapefile has been processed. 

i know that this shapefile is in working order.

trying to re-create this shapefile (it is a tile index for mapserver) seems to 
fail as well...

----------------------
tile4ms list test
Aborted. Unable to open DBF:o34115d1ne.tif
Processed 0 of 1 files
----------------------

here is the output from ogrinfo;

------------------------------
ogrinfo -al doqq_index.shp

Illegal instruction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
----------------------------------------

and here are my compile-time options for gdal:

-------------------
export CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
export CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
export CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-png=internal --with-jpeg=internal \
            --with-gif=internal --with-libtiff=internal \
            --with-geotiff=internal --with-libz=internal\
            --without-pg --without-ogdi --with-python \
	    --with-threads=yes
-------------------

any ideas.. ? could this be an issue that is due to some other library not 
being present?

thanks in advance!
