[GRASS-user] Re: importing shapefiles - segfault

[Maris Nartiss]

Hi Tyler,

first - You should upgrade to GRASS-6.2.1, as there are lots of
bugfixes in all areas.

Second - when You ask for help, You should mention Your platform,
where You get GRASS (package, selfcompile). Also GDAL/OGR version
would be good, if You have problems with import/export via GDAL/OGR.


WBR,
Maris.
