I use Grass6.1.cvs and I want to import a Mapinfo table with v.in.ogr. When I try this command, the cover is correctly imported but when I want to use it, with v.to.rast or, only, with v.info, Grass informs me of an error "Cannot open old vector IFN25@caba on level 2". If I try to display my coverage in a monitor, the display is correct but grass say to me : "warning : coor files of vector IFN25@caba is larger than it should be Cannot display areas, topology is not avalaible". I tested with v.clean, v.build, import with shapefile format... same problem(s). I'm working with Grass6.1.cvs on Cygwin but I also try, in vain, with Grass6.01 (last release) on Linux (suse9.2).
if somebody had an idea about this problem...
Many thanks

This might be a workaround, depending on what your problem is, but you
could use ogr2ogr to convert all your Mapinfo mapfiles to ESRI shapefiles
then import the shape files?
Doesn't resolve the actual problem, but may let you keep going until it is
fixed.

Hello at all,
I use Grass6.1.cvs and I want to import a Mapinfo table with v.in.ogr.
When I try this command, the cover is correctly imported but when I want
to use it, with v.to.rast or, only, with v.info, Grass informs me of an

display my coverage in a monitor, the display is correct but grass say
to me : "warning : coor files of vector IFN25@caba is larger than it
should be Cannot display areas, topology is not avalaible". I tested

I converted my Mapinfo table in shapefile with ogr2ogr to import the shp in grass, the same problem occured when I used v.in.ogr. It seems that it's not come the file format. I don't know how to import my table and I cannot work with something else than Grass (I want to cross this data with MNT...).
