============================== Importing with configuration: m_cap point, public, geom, /home/jean/Documents/M_CAP Point.shp, mode=c, dump=1, simple=1, geography=0, index=1, shape=1, srid=0 Shapefile type: MultiPoint PostGIS type: POINT[2] Unable to convert data value to UTF-8 (iconv reports "Chaîne multi-octets ou étendue de caractères invalide ou incomplète"). Current encoding is "UTF-8". Try "LATIN1" (Western European), or one of the values described at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/multibyte.html.
Shapefile import failed.
After trying to know the encode setting with the ubuntu shell command file -f .shp,the result is something like
file -f M_CAP\ Point.shp

When I also try to open this file with QGis as a Vector layer, using UTF-8 encoding, It opens clearly. What happens now when trying to import it to postgres using shp2pgsql-gui?
Please help me, the original file have been created on windows, and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 Lts. Thanks a lot
