[GRASSLIST:4716] problem using s.in.shape

Hi,

I'm trying to import a shapefile of points with some attributes in GRASS
(Debian version 5.0.3-5.1).

The file has 7 attribute fields. I want to use the last one calle
"z-value" as the elevation.

When I call "s.in.shape -zm in=myshapefile.shp attribute=pointId", the
file is successfully imported but how can I update the z value of the
x,y site data using my "z-value" attribute coming from my shapefile.

Thanks a lot in advance for help,

try using 'v.in.shape label=[z column]' and then 'v.to.sites -C'.
?

Of course GRASS 5.7 is much much better at vector attribute management.
You can get some non-official Debian packages for 5.7:
