Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS build with GDAL 1.7.x - Ubuntu
Hi Juergen and Alex I solve the problem in New/Add Spatialite Layer. The spatialite CLI 2.4.0r3a is actually intervening the QGIS SpatiaLite provider (New SpatiaLite Layer/Add SpatiaLite Layer. I thought QGIS uses libspatialite and Spatialite binary does not interact with QGIS. I make unistalled Spatialite 2.4.0r3a and QGIS 1.5.0.2 works. This is what happening to me in Windows as well. In Mac OS X, I don't install the CLI spatialite, hence it is working properly. Thanks for your patient on dealing this problem. Now, we know why QGIS is not working when someone has been working with spatialite CLI before installing QGIS. Thanks. Noli On 8/29/10, Jürgen E. j...@norbit.de wrote: Hi Noli, On Sun, 29.

Hi Juergen, Thanks for your suggestion in compiling from the source. However, I investigated your QGIS 1.5.0.2 built and this one is actually build with libgdal1.7.0. I installed it and it is actually using GDAL 1.7.2 and Spatialite 2.4.0 But I could not open any spatialite that I created and also the spatialite file (subway_test.sqlite) found in this website below. http://gothos.info/2010/02/calculated-fields-in-spatialite-sqlite/ This is very strange bug. nyc_pumas (Geometry is an invalid layer and cannot be loaded). William's Mac OS X QGIS - QGIS-dev does not have this bug. I will try to see what is inside that that built before compiling one. He just did the compiling last weekend. Thanks.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS build with GDAL 1.7.x - Ubuntu
Hi Alex, Thanks for your reply. I can make a new Spatialite layer using Layer-New-New Spatialite Layer. I believe this is the only correct way to make a Spatialite layer in the current version, Not 'Save As' that is OGR sqlite only. It is editable, saveable and loadable. Note QGIS uses a built in Spatialite in this case, I do not have spatialite installed on the system. Yes, I understand, the New Spatialite layer and QGIS has its own spatialite provider compiled wtih QGIS. My problem is, I am not creating any spatialite layer in QGIS, I like to view and edit spatialite created outside QGIS. The one that I am testing in opening in QGIS ubuntu has been open in Mac OS X QGIS-dev. I could not open the old and new spatialite, or any spatialite files in QGIS ubuntu. I can also verify that I can open Spatialite layers created with older versions of Spatialite directly in QGIS. You might want to start fresh with just what you get from the Ubuntugis repos. Mixing and matching with custom compiled can easily lead to multiple conflicting versions of libraries on your system path. Which version of QGIS are you using that is working spatialite? This version QGIS 1.5.0.2, right. Did you get it from this repository. sudo apt-get install add-apt-repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo aptitude install qgis As mentioned in my previous posting, I am using QGIS 1.5.0.2 and QGIS1.6 trunk created by Juergen with no success. When I installed these two versions, one at the time, it actually picked the right library it was compiled as features of linux system. It does not mix and match until you compile your own version of QGIS. I have not done any compiling yet. I really like to get your version that is working. My ubuntu 10.04 is really clean since I just installed it 2 days ago and beside beside I am using the stock sqlite3 and spatialite that comes with ubuntu 10.04, not the new versions of sqlite and spatialite 2.4.0 r3a. Do you know any other repository e.g. Xubuntu 10.04 that has QGIS that is working with Spatialite? Thanks.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS build with GDAL 1.7.x - Ubuntu
Here's the steps. 1. Open shapefile 2. Save it as spatialite i.e. Sqlite Maybe did you use Save as...? No. I clicked the vector layer and save sqlite. I have been this testing for 2 weeks now, trying to find the right version of QGIS in Windows, Mac OS X and Linux with Spatialite. My laptop now is triple boot (Window 7, Mac OS X and Ubuntu) to find a solution. If you did, the .sqlite you created is not a valid spatialite database (non-spatial table inside it) but only a sqlite vector file. To open it use Add vector layer. I tried to do this Add vector layer with spatialite a week ago in Windows 7 and Windows XP. The funny thing is QGIS tries to open it as well and display tables to open. It should say not a valid file. Anyway, I have been doing the same steps / processes in QGIS in Windows and Mac OS X. Both built can open spatialite it created. QGIS windows has still problem with the latest spatialite 2.4.0. But at least it open spatialite database it created i.e. saving the vector file into sqlite. One of the main features of QGIS 1.5 release is how easy to save vector files to spatialite and open it. Building QGIS with GDAL1.7.3 would fix this problem as William did in QGIS Mac OS X. It seems that QGIS trunk builds is still building using GDAL 1.6 as of 27 August 2010.
