Bob, Copy is better. So copy the file as William said, and rename the new copy libiconv2.dll.
Some programs refer to it by libiconv-2.dll and some as libiconv2.dll. It's a complicated story, but they are generally interchangeable. However if you simply rename the existing, you'll break some other application. Its sounds like you are running an older shp2pgsql though because I think in later versions we changed to libiconv-2.dll to be consistent with PostgreSQL windows build Can you when you have your system working, at dos prompt do a shp2pgsql And let us know the version number it returns at top. It's the part that reads like RCSID: $Id: shp2pgsql-core.h 5098 2010-01-04 05:47:04Z pramsey $ RELEASE: 1.5 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1 Thanks, Leo and Regina http://www.postgis.us -----Original Message----- From: postgis-users-boun...@postgis.refractions.net [mailto:postgis-users-boun...@postgis.refractions.net] On Behalf Of Bob Pawley Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 12:46 PM To: w...@thearete.co.uk; PostGIS Users Discussion Subject: Re: [postgis-users] shp2pgsql I'm not sure what you mean by - "copy libiconv-2.dll to > libiconv2.dll."
