RE: [OpenMap Users] Question Regarding an Error Message When Loading Shapefiles

One Update to report,
 
By commenting out the line in the properties file regarding the ssx
file,
A new ssx file was generated and the street lines were displayed,
However I still lack all street names being displayed.
 
I also added the following line to my properties file:
 
ShapeRoads.csvFile=/data/tigershapefiles/roads/tgr51600lkA.csv
 
I also converted tgr51600lkA.dbf into tgr51600lkA.csv with microsoft
excel and dropped that into my data dir with the .csv extension
 
Any suggestions as to what I did wrong or how to get the street names to
show?
 
Thanks,
 
Erich Klaus

Loading Shapefiles

Hello,
 
I recently downloaded some shapefiles that should show roads from:
 
http://www.esri.com/data/download/census2000_tigerline/index.html
 
and I get the following on loading OpenMap:
 
OpenMap(tm) Version 4.6
  Copyright (C) BBNT Solutions LLC. All rights reserved.
  See http://openmap.bbn.com/ for details.
 
 
*** ERROR ***
ShapeLayer SpatialIndex: problem setting up the shape files:
      shape file: data/tigershapefiles/roads/tgr51600lkA.shp
     spatial index file: data/tigershapefiles/roads/tgr51600lkA.ssx
 
 
Does anyone know any gotchas with loading data from these files.
I get nothing showing up on my map.
