[GRASS-user] Problems with v.in.ogr importing shp files

how to compile a more recent version of gdal and even don't
know exactly wich libraries have to be updated.

I would suggest to rebuilt from source the DebianGIS packages found in
Debian/experimental.

search the web for instructions on how to use "debuild", and see the
instructions for GRASS in the grass SVN source code debian/ dir.

Some useful suggestion on what to do to make v.in.ogr work
correctly with shp files?

well, it's really a matter of getting v.in.ogr to work at all!

after rebuilding and reinstalling GDAL you will want to 'make distclean'
and rebuild GRASS completely too.

I'll read everything and report my attempts results as soon as possible (engaged in other tasks by now :-). By now "solved" installing a Grass 6.3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 (x86 pc) following http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/
v.in.ogr function worked and let me obtain a dtm from contour lines shp file.
Thanks Hamish
