I would question whether the gdal.input you are using with Mapnik is really linked against this version of the gdal library since the error message you are seeing can realistically only be generated by an older version of code which does not have the "wkbMultiPolygon" string listed in that table. For reference the block of code in gdal-1.7.2 which matches against this string table and reports the error message you gave is here: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/tags/1.7.2/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/vrt/ogrvrtlayer.cpp#L275 Jon > On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 1:29 PM, Jon Burgess <[email protected]> > wrote: > On Wed, 2011-02-16 at 12:50 -0800, David Wiesen wrote: > > I am trying to use an Ogr data source to hook up MySQL as a > backend > > for mapnik.
