[GRASS-user] Problems with v.in.ogr importing shp files

[Ferruccio Sarra]

I'll read everything and report my attempts results as soon as possible 
(engaged in other tasks by now :-). By now  "solved" installing a Grass 
6.3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 (x86 pc) following  http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/
v.in.ogr function worked and let me obtain a dtm from contour lines shp 
file.
Thanks Hamish
