[postgis-users] problem with shp2pgsql

[henok tadesse]

perhaps that was the problem,

the full line is like this...

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/shp2pgsql -s 26911  river.shp
River myschema.myRiverdb > ~/River.sql


and i assumed i should put the shapefiles in the same
folder as the shp2pgsql because i didnot get any hint
where to actually put the shapefiles and i could not
find the 'loader' directory. Where exactly should the
shapefiles be loaded anyway? Or it could be anywhere
given the proper path is provided later in the code? 

thanks
