Hi David, I suspect you may be experiencing this problem here: http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2007-December/017893.html. Unfortunately we need someone with some OS X knowledge to work out a solution that can work on all platforms, and devise a patch for it :( Kind regards, Mark. -- ILande - Open Source Consultancy http://www.ilande.co.uk _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
