[GRASS-user] v.in.ascii error: bad type reading source file

Running 6.5svn on Slackware and trying to import an ASCII text file with
lat/lon coordinates. Here are the first two lines of the file:

SC-100|41.42188333|-115.99418333
SC|42.30416667|-116.10600000

When I run this command:

v.in.ascii -n
in=‘/home/rshepard/projects/nevada/queenstake/sites-data/biosites.csv’
out=biosites format=standard col=‘name varchar(10), y double precision, x
double precision’ x=3 y=2 cat=0 --o

Rich, try to import in “point” format and without “-n” flag:

v.in.ascii in=‘/home/rshepard/projects/nevada/queenstake/sites-data/biosites.csv’ out=biosites col=‘name varchar(10), y double precision, x double precision’ x=3 y=2 cat=0 --o
