I used the following to do the conversion: ogr2ogr -f GML test.gml test.shp
I got a file test.gml and test.xsd which appear to have the polygons and geometry in them. When I try to look at it with ogrinfo I get ERROR 1: Unable to create Xerces C++ based GML reader, Xerces support not configured into GDAL/OGR. ERROR 1: File test.gml appears to be GML but the GML reader can't be instantiated, likely because Xerces support wasn't configured in. But I did configure it in, and in fact ogr2ogr found support. Is there some way that it can output GML and not read it because I messed up the configure, or is there another reason besides not compiling in xml that might cause this problem?
