I'm following along with the GeoDjango_Presentation.pdf at [1] from
the FOSS4G 2007 presentation at [2], using the shapefile
'st99_d00.shp' from [3]. When trying the example code listed on the
bottom slide of page 11 in the pdf , I get an error:
SRSException: Invalid spatial reference pointer returned from
"OGR_L_GetSpatialRef".
This occurs on both Debian Etch and OS X 10.4 (both are using GDAL
version 1.4.2 and python 2.4 with ctypes package installed). I'm just
starting out with GeoDjango so I'm not sure if it's an installation
problem or the code. I was able to successfully run the third-party
library installation tests at [4] and also the DataSource example at
[5], in case that helps to shed any light on the soundness of my
installation.
Should the example still work with the latest svn revision of
GeoDjango? The IPython session is pasted below.
Thanks,
Joe
