Geospatial data - Cannot import Shapefiles

Hello all,

I'm using geo-6.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz, Drupal 6.12 and Mysql 5.0.67-0ubuntu6 (new to Drupal, but learning).

Whenever I attempt to import a shape file, I always get an error message similar to the
one below. The message says the import was successful, but it's not- there's nothing in
the database geo_shp_ table except for the header line. It seems like the
GeomFromText('P', 4326) part is wrong. From examples I've seen on the net, maybe it
should be more like :
GeomFromText('POINT(71 97)', 4326) . No matter what data set I use, local, US Census, or
3rd party sources, I still get this same error.

However, if I put into SWL something like GeomFromText('POINT (1 1)', 4326) , the
insert go through-- but with nothing in the 'geo' field'. Thanks for any help. If this
worked completely for us, this would be a wonderful tool for us! :)

here's the ERROR:

user warning: Column 'geo' cannot be null query: INSERT INTO geo_data_facilities (
sde_facili, perimeter, fac_, fac_id, address, name, facility, d_oct92_, d_oct92_id,
d_oct92_s, type, sectors_, juris_, geo ) VALUES (0, 0, 0, 125, '3517 N HILSHIRE BLVD',
'CENTRAL LOCAL', 'POST OFFICE', 0, 0, '', 0, '', '', GeomFromText('P', 4326)) in
