[Qgis-user] Newbie with request for advice

[Johan Nilsson]

I'm also very interested in 'ESRI file geodatabase', not the 'Personal
geodatabase', ( mdb or ms-access, or JET database) that ESRI not recommend
to use...

I tried to compile for month ago, but I think I stuck on the same place Art
get stuck..

/Cheers
