[SQL] pgsql2shp - Could not create dbf file

[Fay Du]

Hi everyone:      I got an error when I use pgsal2shp.      My server is Linux      The command I used is: pgsql2shp -f newroads gisdb testarea      Where, newroads is my out put file name, gisdb is database name, and testarea is table name.      After hit enter button, I got the message:  Initializing... Could not create dbf file        What was wrong? Any help will be appreciated.   Fay
