[Gdal-dev] Problem on creating a simple point shapefile with OGR

[Zheng, Lin ERDC-TEC-VA]

Hi Julien,
    Thank you for your help.  I think it works now.  Will this make a
directory full of shapefiles or just a single shapefile?
    Thank you again.
 
Lin Zheng

Lin,

This is a common error you get when the output file (.shp .shx and .dbf)
already exists, remove it first and it'll works.
