[gdal-dev] Error using ogr2ogr to create SpatiaLite database

[Even Rouault]

Simon,

I also reproduce the problem. It is not platform related. There are various 
problems in the way the spatial_ref_sys is handled, that I'm currently 
fixing. The problem is that the SRS of the shapefile is not properly 
recognized and translated in the spatial_ref_sys table.

You can workaround it by adding -a_srs EPSG:4326 on the command line.

Best regards,

Even
