Looks like everything besides the error worked just fine. The log just says "Skipped: libiconv-2.dll" in reference to the error. In fact, I just thought to open up the installer (thanks to 7-Zip), and I compared the 2 libiconv-2.dll files - the one in the PostgreSQL bin folder and the one in the PostGIS bin folder. The PostgreSQL file is larger (946kb vs 873kb) and has a more recent last modified time (1/6/09 vs 12/16/08). I'm guessing that I want the newer copy anyway, so perhaps skipping over that file isn't such a bad thing. Why does PostGIS include that file in the first place if it's included with PostgreSQL?

Hi Geoff,

This is interesting; I remember I had a conversation about the libiconv DLL a while back, since the PostgreSQL installer used to install a really old version as libiconv2.dll, whereas MingW builds iconv as libiconv-2.dll (with the extra hyphen). The consensus at the time was that we should leave PostgreSQL to use libiconv2.dll and distribute our own libiconv-2.dll as part of the installer, but I guess this part has changed - I'll CC to Dave for comment, as I don't know which versions of the PostgreSQL installer contain this change.

The reason that you see the error at the moment is, of course, because your current PostgreSQL instance already has the libiconv-2.dll file open for its own use.


ATB,

Mark.
