[OSM-talk] How to convert OSM into GML - examples needed

[Artem Pavlenko]

Casey,
I'm assuming you're on a Linux box  and you have postgresql/postgis installed 
(see http://www.postgresql.org http://www.postgis.org for howto) 

1.  Get the source 
svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/utils/osm2pgsql

2. cd ./osm2pgsql 
    make
 ( You might have to modify Makefile to fit your settings)
3.   ./osm2pgsql planet.osm  > planet.sql
You can then load planet.sql into postgresql :

psql -Uusername dbname  < planet.sql

4. I dont use GRASS myself but I'm pretty sure it would let you connect to 
postgis db and load osm data. You can also use ogr2ogr utility to convert 
postgis table into something else e.g shapefiles . Just google for gdal/ogr

Cheers
Artem
