[gdal-dev] Re: Converting contour lines (Shape files) into DEM

[Martinjensen]

I am trying the same thing but gdal_rasterize will not let me without an
existing raster  outputfile. My GDAL version is:

>gdal_rasterize --utility_version
gdal_rasterize was compiled against GDAL 1.8.0 and is running against GDAL
1.8.0

I run it like this:

gdal_rasterize.exe -a Z -l LINESTRING LINESTRING.shp LINESTRING_dem.tif
ERROR 4: `LINESTRING_dem.tif' does not exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

I thought the ability to create new output file by gdal_rasterize war
introduced en GDAL 1.8. 
Am I doing anything wrong?
