[gdal-dev] ogr problems with MapInfo

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

no luck...

gdal is compiled with --enable-debug and CPL_DEBUG=ON

the only output that I get is

gis at mapserver:~/data/tmp$ ogrinfo .
OGR: OGROpen(.) failed.
OGR: OGROpen(.) failed.
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `.' with the following drivers.
  -> ESRI Shapefile
  -> MapInfo File
...

can verbosity be increased further ?

and with TAB2TAB the only messages that I get are:

gis at mapserver:/tmp$ /home/gis/src/mitab-1.7.0/mitab/tab2tab
/home/gis/data/tmp/CA_AbandonedMine.TAB test.TAB
ERROR 3: stat() failed for /home/gis/data/tmp/CA_AbandonedMine.id

ERROR 3: Open() failed for /home/gis/data/tmp/CA_AbandonedMine.map
ERROR 3: /home/gis/data/tmp/CA_AbandonedMine.TAB could not be opened as a
MapInfo dataset.
Failed to open /home/gis/data/tmp/CA_AbandonedMine.TAB

(again, If I copy those files to another folder, then I can open them....
very odd !)
