[gdal-dev] GMT driver for Ogr2Ogr

[Dave Sampson]

Hey folks,

The basics,

Working on ubuntu.

Installed gdal-bin from repositories

I am trying the following command

ogr2ogr -f GMT output.gmt proponent_locations.shp


and I get the following error

Unable to find driver `GMT'.
The following drivers are available:
  -> `ESRI Shapefile'
  -> `MapInfo File'
  -> `UK .NTF'
...
...
...


When I do an :
ldd /usr/bin/ogr2ogr

I get

Any ideas?
