Try using 7-zip to read/write compressed archives. It can read that tar.gz file format on Windows (as well as many other formats). I was able to open the version 8.3 source tarball with 7-zip 4.65 and decompress it fine. On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 9:20 PM, "Jenny" Guilian Wang wrote: > Hi, > > Fro

Do not use a local system. For everything larger than 200meters you need a srs definition, because you can't messure it exactly. Take a projection from your living area und shift your geometrys to the right place. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: postgis-users-boun...@postgis.refractions.
