I am using PostgreSQL/Postgis with Leopard using the latest Kyng Chaos binaries. Everything appears to be working well except shp2pgsql. When I try to load a shapefile, it just gives me the help screen (see below):

[Big-Mac:~] dgarbin% /usr/local/pgsql/bin/shp2pgsql -D -s 4269 -i -I / Users/dgarbin/grass/Shapefiles/dtl_cnty.shp dgarbin.dtl_cnty | /usr/ local/pgsql/bin/psql -d networx RCSID: $Id: shp2pgsql.c 2717 2007-11-23 10:42:09Z mcayland $ RELEASE: 1.3.2 USAGE: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/shp2pgsql [<options>] <shapefile> [<schema>.]<table>
OPTIONS:
  -s <srid>  Set the SRID field. If not specified it defaults to -1.
  (-d|a|c|p) These are mutually exclusive options:
      -d  Drops the table, then recreates it and populates
          it with current shape file data.
      -a  Appends shape file into current table, must be
          exactly the same table schema.
      -c  Creates a new table and populates it, this is the
          default if you do not specify any options.
      -p  Prepare mode, only creates the table.
  -g <geometry_column> Specify the name of the geometry column
     (mostly useful in append mode).
  -D  Use postgresql dump format (defaults to sql insert statments.
  -k  Keep postgresql identifiers case.
  -i  Use int4 type for all integer dbf fields.
  -I  Create a GiST index on the geometry column.
  -S  Generate simple geometries instead of MULTI geometries.
-w Use wkt format (for postgis-0.x support - drops M - drifts coordinates).
  -W <encoding> Specify the character encoding of Shape's
     attribute column. (default : "ASCII")
-N <policy> Specify NULL geometries handling policy (insert,skip,abort)
  -? Display this help screen

There seems to be a problem reading parameters. If I just specify the -? option, it says "No match".
