[Gdal-dev] ogr2ogr issues for vmap0 on Ubuntu Breezy

[Putler, Dan]

Hi All,

I'm trying to convert some vmap0 files to shapefile format (the  
political boundary polygons to be exact) using ogr2ogr on an Ubuntu  
"Breezy" system. I first used the FWTools 1.0.0b2 build of ogr2ogr to  
do this. When doing the conversion, ogr2ogr doesn't complain, but  
only writes out the field names and formats in the dbf along with the  
prj file. The shp and shx file are created, but the don't appear to  
have any actual information in them. Following this, I rebuilt the  
gdal 1.3.1 library with ogdi support, and tried again, with the same  
outcome (on all four vmap0 databases, so I don't think it is a  
corruption issue). My guess is that I'm running into an Ubuntu  
specific issue, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

On a related note, if someone has copies of the shapefile versions of  
the political boundaries, allowing me to obtain them from you would  
be greatly appreciated (yes, it is giving a man a fish, not teaching  
him to fish, but it solves my short term problem).

Dan
