Re: ogr2ogr: csv to shpefile (newby question)

I'm not getting the error message any more but I'm not geting the three files 
either. Is there any way of getting th .shx .shp an .dbf from a csv with 
ogr2ogr?

Is there any other (command line) application that can convert csv to 
shapefiles? gen2shp only convert generate files that  can't contain
attributes.
 
Thanks, Tomas

PD: I'm using gdal-1.3.1
