If you figure out how to make gdb actually work on mingw, let us know - not many has ever managed to get it wokring, and I don't know of anybody who can make it work repeatedly. That said, libpq builds with Visual C++. Could you try building your pgsql2shp with Visual C++ as well, and then use the Visual C++ debugger (or windbg, really). They should give working backtraces. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
