[Qgis-user] How to open ESRI geodatabase in QGIS 1.8 and Gdal 1.9 on Ubuntu?

[Peter Schürch]

I think I managed to open ESRI Geodatabase as a Database source without any tweaking opening them as a Vectorfile and then choosing Database (instead of File).

Thanx. Downloadig the FileGDB_API_1_2-32.tar.gz and also the 64-bit version.
I have only compiled one thing in Ubuntu and that was a component in Unity (to get navigation buttom, to the left in stead of right, and during that I have a row, to row tutorial.

They can be opened on either Windows or Linux, what you need is the
gdal/ogr file geodatabase driver. This requires getting some files from
ESRI (free) and doing a little bit of compiling.

I found this which should help. But I though there was a way that didn't
require a complete gdal compile.

As for ArcGIS, there are several versions of Geodatabases, newer Arcs
can read older databases but not vice versa.

Thanks,
Alex
