Stefan, you're using my PostGIS binary? I thought I had renamed the Postgis getopt() to force it to be the one used, but looking at my source I see that I didn't, this time. I must have downloaded a fresh copy of the source and forgot that patch.

And, do you have a 64bit Mac (Core 2 Duo) or one of the first 32bit Core Duo Macs?

Mark, I don't know about the original why, but in this case, the PostGIS getopt() works, while the OSX 10.5 32bit getopt() does not. The 64bit OSX getopt() does work. There has been a system update since then, so I need to test it again. (actually, very soon, since I was just about to rebuild for Postgres 8.3)

Ah... yes indeed. 10.5.

So, what do you recommend? Wait and see? Hmm....

I think the first question to ask is why do we supply our own copy of getopt
with shp2pgsql/pgsql in the first place? Is it because it's missing on
something like Solaris? My temptation would be to simply remove it, and let
everything use the system getopt...


Kind regards,

Mark.
