DXF is offered as a "Save as" option, but doesn't work

[Alister]

I thought I'd test the new ability to export to any OGR supported format. This is the resulting error message:

Export to vector file failed. Error: creation of field Id failed (OGR error: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation.)

Maybe there's a way to actually produce a working dxf by automatically deleting and/or renaming attribute fields or something?

Save as DXF doesn't work here either.

Using Qgis 1.5.0, (libgdal1 version 1.7.1) from the Build Service on openSuSE 11.2 (64-bit).

When trying to save a vector layer (shape) as dxf, I get the following error:

Error: creation of data source failed (OGR error:Failed to find template header file header.dxf for reading, is GDAL_DATA set properly?)

Checked: There is no environment setting GDAL_DATA on my system.
