[Openspace] problem with GEODA reading SHP file

[Julia Koschinsky]

Hi Franck,

To test whether it's a program or file problem, can you open one of the sample datasets in GeoDa and see if you can run maps, weights etc. with it (http://www.sal.uiuc.edu/stuff/stuff-sum/data)? 

For your file, make sure you have a unique ID (which is required to open a shapefile but not to run weights).

Let me know what the outcome is, then we can troubleshoot from there.
