[Qgis-user] Yet another projection question, I think
Hi List -- I hate to bring such basic stuff, but I can't solve this and need it for a business project. I am running QGIS 1.7.2 on MEPIS 11 (based on Debian Stable). I have a set of tree locations collected in the field, and they import correctly into Google Earth. I set up a QGIS project, brought in orthoimages from NYS GIS Clearinghouse and loaded the correct ones without problem. Their projection is WGS 84, when I click on the lower right corner. Then I created a delimited layer importing the tree locations, and I can see all the points and the data are all correct. That projection is also WGS 84. But the points do not show on the orthos (yes the layer is checked) and I do not know how to proceed at this point. I need a map I can take into the field next week, so I'd appreciate any advice people might have.

I started with this statement from Niccolo's post 4 days ago: "On the same repository packages for Debian Squeeze are just for QGIS 1.7, I'm sorry for that." Since there is no 1.7 candidate in the Debian repos, just 1.4, according to the Debian search engine, I switched my repo to debian.gfoss.it and tried to install from there. As I wrote earlier, that showed a unfulfillable dependency, so I asked one of our packagers to take a look at it. His conclusion that you quoted was that 1.7 will build fine on Squeeze if that one library is changed to the Squeeze version. Niccolo has resonded that I might have pointed to the wrong repo, but I conclude from my packager's finding and the dpkg result that that was not the problem. But I am merely an end user. Our repackaging is now in our testing repository, as I posted yesterday, and that installs without problem on Squeeze. I am happy that QGIS 1.7 is now easily available to MEPIS 11 users and anyone using Debian Stable, because it is such a terrific application. That's all I know...

We now have 32 and 64bit packages in our testing Community Repo, where they will stay while users test the install: deb http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis11cr test After a short time, they will be moved to deb http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/ mepis11cr main non-free The packager commented: "The source packages from the debian.gfoss.it repository should build just fine on squeeze. It looks like they built their squeeze packages on a system with the wheezy libgeos files installed so their package depends on them, but the wheezy libgeos is not required to build qgis - the squeeze version works just fine."

[Qgis-user] Delimited text plugin
Hi List --
Using QGIS installed on Debian Squeeze (actually MEPIS 11) from deb repo
listed on website. Help says the version is 1.4 (correct?). Let me say
what excellent work you are all doing. I use QGIS for my relatively
simple needs and it is terrific.
My suggestion: when I tried to use the delimited text plugin I had
problems, so clicked on Help and read the message. But at least for me
it turned out that no quotes are allowed to delimit text fields. That
is mentioned in the example below the list of requirements, but it would
be much easier for the first-time user if the list read this way (also
edited for consistency):
---
*To view a delimited text file as layer, the text file must contain:
--A delimited header row of field names. This must be the first line in
the text file.
--An X and Y field. These fields can have any name.
--Text fields delimited without quotes (")
--X and Y coordinates specified as a number. The coordinate system is
not important.*
Minor, but I hope it may help.
