<TITLE>ogr2ogr issues for vmap0 on Ubuntu Breezy</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi All,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm trying to convert some vmap0 files to shapefile format (the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>political boundary polygons to be exact) using ogr2ogr on an Ubuntu </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>"Breezy" system. I first used the FWTools 1.0.0b2 build of ogr2ogr to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>do this. When doing the conversion, ogr2ogr doesn't complain, but </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>only writes out the field names and formats in the dbf along with the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>prj file. The shp and shx file are created, but the don't appear to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>have any actual information in them. Following this, I rebuilt the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>gdal 1.3.1 library with ogdi support, and tried again, with the same </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>outcome (on all four vmap0 databases, so I don't think it is a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>corruption issue). My guess is that I'm running into an Ubuntu </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>specific issue, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>On a related note, if someone has copies of the shapefile versions of </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the political boundaries, allowing me to obtain them from you would </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>be greatly appreciated (yes, it is giving a man a fish, not teaching </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>him to fish, but it solves my short term problem).</FONT>
</P>
