<div style="color:;font: 10pt Helvetica Neue;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear list members,</span>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been trying to use the GDAL tools from within QGIS, more specifically the "Points Along Lines" tool, to find the lines' midpoints in line shapefiles. However, regardless of which file I try, I keep getting this error:</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Searching online, the only reference to that problem is a 5 years old thread from this very list: <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2015-May/041800.html">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2015-May/041800.html</a>. Following it, the first obvious thing to suspect is that Spatialite is either missing or outdated. However, neither seem to be the case in my 64bits Ubuntu 18.04 system:</div>

<div>I am at a loss: if both GDAL and Spatialite are present in my system and up-to-date enough to contain "<span style="font-size: 13.3333px; background-color: transparent;">ST_Line_Interpolate_Point", how could I solve the mentioned issue?</span></div>
