[OSM-talk] Coastline Upload Problem

[Keith Ng]

I was trying to upload coastline data for Penang, Malaysia, which is
in reagion 3 in the NGA data. I have no programming skill whatsoever,
and thus after numerous trial and error, this is what I have done:

1. Installed ActivePerl
2. Downloaded Geo-ShapeFile version 2.51 using Perl Package Manager
3. Downloaded coast_josm.pl
4. Downloaded the data for the region I want (3)
5. Put all files into the same directory.
6. Go to Windows cmd.exe and type in perl upload_josm.pl 5.2 5.5 100.2 100.43
7. Put the NGA files in a folder called Data, which is in the
directory coast_josm.pl is in.
8. Go to Windows cmd.exe and type in perl upload_josm.pl 5.2 5.5 100.2 100.43

However, everytime I do that all I got was an error saying "Couldn't
get file handle for Data/NGA_GlobalShoreline_cd3
.shx: No such file or directory at coast_josm.pl line 52"

What did I do wrong? Your reply would be very much appreciated. Thank
you very much.
