[Xastir] ESRI shapefile troubles

[Tapio Sokura]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Xastir from CVS (2004-09-18) with ESRI shapefiles that 
describe a part of the Finnish road network. When I added the shapefiles 
to xastir's map directory, I only got some dots and a few polygons to 
the screen, nothing that resembles a road network. No error messages are 
printed to stdout/stderr, except the "No DBFAWK signature found" that I 
get from world.shp as well. Shapelib is version 1.2.10.

I don't know much about shapefiles so I'm asking here if someone could 
take a quick look on those shapefiles and tell me if there is something 
fundamentally wrong with them or are they just some way incompatible 
with Xastir. I've placed the files temporarily at 
http://www.oh2kku.ham.fi/misc/, they should describe a road network at 
about 60 deg 30 minutes north, 25 deg 5 minutes east (the city of 
Järvenpää).
