[Qgis-user] Problem on Mac OS X: Saving Point data as a shapefile

[Erica Donnelly-Swift]

Hi all,

I am having difficulty saving point data as a shapefile .... QGIS  
automatically shuts down. The steps I have taken are given below. Any  
advice is greatly appreciated, thanks


I am working with QGIS version 1.4.0 Enceladus on a Mac OS X version  
10.5.8

1) I created a .csv file from the .xls file, then loaded the .csv
file into QGIS with the "Add delimited text layer" plugin

2)  save the result as a shapefile by clicking on "layers"  option and  
choosing "save as shape file" and i click on the Irish Grid reference  
"ESPG ID 29902".

Then QGIS automatically shuts down.
