[GRASS-user] About importing VMAP into GRASS... (as shapefiles)

[Nikos Alexandris]

Thank you guys...

I think I solved it now!

I found in GDAL mailing list following statement:

by Paul Surgeon.

So, I just moved the v0eur folder out of my long
folder /home/nik/GeoData/World/VMAP which has a lot of dangerous Capital
letters ;-)

Now I get a decent output when I run:
$ ogrinfo gltp:/vrf/home/nik/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia
'watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line'

Still didn't try to export anything but I think it will be easy since I
don't get any error messages from ogrinfo.


Than you all,

Nikos.
