Oscar,

I checked, and it seems I have used:

   gltp:/vrf/usr3/mpp1/v0noa/vmaplv0/noamer

So, try adding /noamer to the datasource name.

Also, the OGDI VRF driver is very sensitive to uppercase/lowercase and
whether or not there is a dot added to file names.

Is there any particular reason you built from source instead of using
FWTools?

Best regards,
