Hi, I have been trying to create an index with shptree for a rather big shapefile. The size of the .shp part is about 1800 KB. Shptree seems to run OK, it does not throw any errors and Windows task manager shows a steady growing memory usage. Then shptree stops without warnings and memory is freed. Unfortunately no .qix file is written on the disk. I made a test by selecting a part of the big shapefile into a smaller one and for that I could create .qix index normally. Therefore I believe that the data is OK and shptree fails because of the big shapefile size. Have anyone else experienced the same and if this perhaps something worth creating a new ticket on issue tracker? I am still playing with GDAL 1.7.0dev, FWTools 2.4.2, released 2009/06/24.
Note that large dbf/shp support was recently tweaked during the recent WMS Benchmarking exercise (http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Support-for-large-DBF-SHP-files-td5420444.html#a5420444). In that case shptree would create a qix file (for a 1.3GB shp) but MapServer would not draw it and no errors were thrown; this has since been fixed.
