[postgis-users] shp2pgsql problem with very large .shp-files

[Stefan Zweig]

hi list,

i have a problem with the shp2pgsql program:

this command:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/shp2pgsql -s 4326 -c -I -D -k /var/gisapp/postgreexport/_G342.shp public._g342 > /var/gisapp/postgreexport/_g342.sql
works alright, no problems at all

whereas this command:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/shp2pgsql -s 4326 -c -I -D -k /var/gisapp/postgreexport/_G2681.shp public._g2681 > /var/gisapp/postgreexport/_g2681.sql
causes shp2pgsql to answer:

"/var/gisapp/postgreexport/_G2681.shp: shape (.shp) or index files (.shx) can not be opened."

ls -la in /var/gisapp/postgreexport/ says the following:

-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root    171848556 2007-08-14 18:38 _G2681.dbf
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root                143 2007-08-14 18:38 _G2681.prj
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root  4565523268 2007-08-14 18:38 _G2681.shp
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root    124980820 2007-08-14 18:38 _G2681.shx
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root                308 2007-08-15 09:35 _G342.dbf
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root                143 2007-08-15 09:35 _G342.prj
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root                716 2007-08-15 09:35 _G342.shp
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root     root                276 2007-08-15 09:35 _G342.shx


so the only difference between shp-file _g2681 and shp-file _g342 is that _g2681 is an extremely big one. (and actually there is another difference: _G342.shp is a point shape, _g2681.shp is a line shape)

any ideas?

i appreciate any help, thanks in advance,

stefan
