[GRASS-user] having problems importing shapefiles

[Erik Lash]

I've tried to duplicate your problem on the most current release (r39626-1)
on WinXP SP3 but every shapefile I tried imported without error.

However, I've noticed that DBF files still do not import with db.in.ogr and
throw an error that the table can not be found like they did with the
previous version.
