[mapserver-users] Calculate length!

[alok mathur]

Hi Jukka,

When i am trying to run the above ogr command as mentioned by you I am
getting an error

ogrinfo -dialect sqlite -sql "select st_length(geometry) from 'Fibertech
solution'" doc_test.kml
INFO: Open of `doc_test.kml'
      using driver `LIBKML' successful.
ERROR 1: In ExecuteSQL(): sqlite3_prepare(select st_length(geometry) from
'Fibertech solution'):
  no such function: st_length



Please let me know what the issue is. I have installed both libsqlite3 and
libspatialite.

Thanks!
Alok
