[GRASS-user] v.in.gns problem in epsg4326 location

GRASS GRASS user
1

hello list,

trying to import a GNS file in an empty location (wgs84/EPSG:4326) resulted in the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Unparsable latitude value: LAT
Cannot open existing vector <thailand@GNS> on level [2]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is reproducable and occurs both on a linux built (Debian, locally compiled) and a precompiled native XP version.

Are there known workarounds ?

Peter

Yes - update GRASS :slight_smile:
We have fixed that recently (6.4.svn and 7.svn), it was a buffer overflow in
v.in.ascii in case of long column fields (long citiy names etc).

Hi Markus:

Good to hear that the problem has been fixed in the svn versions.

FYI: The latest downloadable version of the native Windoze version still ships with this bug.

best,
Peter

Yes, known... We fixed 6.4.svn and 7.svn and winGRASS is 6.3.0.
