[GRASS-user] Imporing shapefile to GRASS: v.in.ogr

GRASS GRASS user

I'm working on both the WinGRASS and Linux versions of GRASS. I am using the
Neteler/Mitasove text to learn the basics of GRASS. I'm using version (6.4
ORC5 2009) on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) with the old tcl/tk GUI to stay consistent
with the book.

I'm stuck in trying to import a shapefile to the GRASS vector format with
v.in.ogr. WinGRASS MSYS seems to produce a good GRASS vector file with
topology, but on the Linux platform it produces a buffer overflow message
and a display that shows only one of about 117 polygons. I've tried
launching v.in.ogr in both the gui and from the command line with the same
result. On a related note, I can't seem to get the newer GUI to launch on
the Linux platform, but I'll solve that problem later.)

My terminal dialog is in the attached file.

Hm. Could this be Ubuntu specific issue like this one?:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/402

Try to upgrade Your GDAL/OGR.

Maris.

Thanks for the link. I'll follow up - I think I need to become more
Linux-literate as well.
