world-c.data and world-d.dta ? #11

Closed joelgombin closed 5 years ago

joelgombin commented 10 years ago

What are the world-c and world-d data files? I can't seem to open them, Stata says "file data/world-d.dta not Stata format".

briatte commented 10 years ago

These should be map datasets, world-c ~ 4.4MB and world-d ~ 46KB. Could be an issue with srqm_pkgs copying the files from the SRQM to the data folder. Let's see how Windows gets it.

Well, obviously there is a problem with these: world-c is 158 kb and world-d only 421 bytes.

The code does this:

  1. install wbopendata with ancillary files; that creates the world map files in the SRQM folder
  2. copy the files from the SRQM folder to the data subfolder, and delete the originals

I'm guessing that Linux does not like the copy command, which is the Stata version of mv.

Cannot reproduce the issue (six years later…).
