Is it a recent OGDI driver? I tried a few months ago, successfully.

AFAIK it dislikes the caps in the path (bad luck).

I was also cleaning the trailing dots, such as:

mv ./view/viewsas/env. ./view/viewsas/env
mv ./view/viewsas/themes. ./view/viewsas/themes
mv ./vmaplv0/dht. ./vmaplv0/dht
mv ./vmaplv0/lat. ./vmaplv0/lat
mv ./vmaplv0/rference/cat. ./vmaplv0/rference/cat
mv ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/cnd. ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/cnd
mv ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/csi. ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/csi
mv ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/ebr. ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/ebr
mv ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/edg. ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/edg
mv ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/edx. ./vmaplv0/rference/dbref/edx

...

Then it should work...

Good luck
