[Qgis-user] Re:Newbie question - gml files

[Sam Vekemans]

Ok,

I'll try again.

http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/k6MSEbx0CQm5QDaZeu3Ukw?feat=directlink

Where would i find these library files?

And why does it not work in QGIS?

(I installed qgis version 1.4.0 and it DOES actually start :)  so thats a
benifit ... but still does like the .gml files.

Isn't gdal part of this program?

It's asking to find the files "gdal18dev.dll"   and i dont know where this
file is hiding.

Again, do i need to install a different Operating system to make it work?
(I'm using windows XP)

Thanks,
Sam

The ogr2ogr.exe file is hidden in the
D:\Downloads\release-1500-gdal-mapserver\bin\gdal\apps directory.
does it automatically look in the
D:\Downloads\release-1500-gdal-mapserver\bin  folder?
