Hi Regina

shp2pgsql.c 4867? 2009-1-20 ncayland $ Release: 1.4

It came with my brand new 8.4 download with which I have had more install and "getting going" problems than any other Postgresql download.

Not being anywhere near a Postgresql expert these problems take me a lot of time to overcome.

I applaud those who are working on them.

Bob

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

I'm not sure what you mean by - "copy libiconv-2.dll to
libiconv2.dll."

Do you mean rename??

I just attempted to use shp2pgsql and received an error message about
libiconv2.dll  not being installed on my computer.

If you've got PostgreSQL installed then you should already have a copy
of the library.  Find the 'bin' directory within your PostgreSQL
installation e.g. C:\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin and copy libiconv-2.dll to
libiconv2.dll.  Also, make sure that your PATH variable includes that
'bin' directory (check with 'echo %PATH%' from a DOS prompt).

HTH,

Will
