The problem I found which was fixed in 1.3.2, is that a function defined in postgis (get_uint32) was *added* to Leopard's libSystem, and Leopard's was linked instead of postgis's.

The getopt problem is similar, but at least in my build I see that the postgis version of getopt is linked into the binary.

You can check by doing this in a Terminal:

nm -mjg /usr/local/pgsql/bin/shp2pgsql | grep getopt

if the _getopt line ends with "(from libSystem)" then somehow the system getopt got linked in.

I have used his latest Mac binaries to load a dozen shapefiles or so and they have loaded fine.

I had some issues with one version back, apparently due to a problem between Posgres and PostGIS. Once the source was updated, he rolled a new one.
