Hi,

When trying to open a .vrt file referencing a .csv with 'lat' and ‘ ong’ in two 
separate columns I get the following error message: ‘Invalid Data Source: 
/Users/Andrea/postgis_cookbook/Chapter 1/global_24h.vrt is not a valid or 
recognized data source’.

Virtual file and .csv file are in the same directory. I did my homework and 
tried to search for answers to similar questions in this mailing list, the QGIS 
User List and GIS StackExchange but could not find any. The following is the 
content of the .vrt file:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="Global_24h">
        <SrcDataSource>Global_24h.csv</SrcDataSource>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
        <LayerSRS>EPSG:4326</LayerSRS>
        <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="longitude" y="latitude”/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

NOTE: I’m able to read the file with the GDAL utility ogrinfo installed with 
PostGIS:
$ ogrinfo global_24h.vrt Global_24h -fid 1
