<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>It happens to me all the time particularly on OpenSUSE. I compile as root, forget to switch back to postgres before run check, but can't run check as root because I didn't give root enought rights.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>or I change to postgres but I have to chmod the regress folder or something like that. In this case it was just because my GEOS was the wrong version so would create the db and next time wouldn't drop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it should be the default behavior to drop, but I don't know. Since its not something users do often.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>It wouldn't have been such a problem except next time check fails if the database exists or at least it seems to. Maybe I was just reading it wrong.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
