Roger, I would suggest you to try it with gdal-1.6.2 first.
If that fails, and if can provide a sample dataset that causes the problem, submit a bug report at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ As for finding the difference between the datasets, you can use the ogrinfo utility to examine the data. You can get the details about ogrinfo at http://www.gdal.org/ogrinfo.html and some examples of using it on postgresql at http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_pg.html On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 11:15 PM, Roger André <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I would like to understand the cause of the segmentation fault I am getting > with gdal_rasterize.
