[postgis-users] Linux versions?

[Gregory S. Williamson]

Are you sure you got a full install on windows ? I used the Windoze installer and got this:
D:\psql\bin>dir
 Volume in drive D is Local Disk
 Volume Serial Number is 20C7-BDDD

 Directory of D:\psql\bin

07/13/2005  02:13a      <DIR>          .
07/13/2005  02:13a      <DIR>          ..

09/10/2004  04:31a               3,227 clean_pending.pl

05/11/2005  10:16a              42,410 pg_controldata.exe
05/11/2005  10:15a              67,062 pg_ctl.exe
05/11/2005  10:15a             292,848 pg_dump.exe
05/11/2005  10:15a              74,142 pg_dumpall.exe
05/11/2005  10:17a              39,075 pg_dumplo.exe
05/11/2005  10:16a              63,279 pg_resetxlog.exe
05/11/2005  10:15a             189,347 pg_restore.exe
05/18/2005  09:01a              14,001 postgis_restore.pl
05/11/2005  10:14a           3,089,716 postgres.exe
05/11/2005  10:14a           3,089,716 postmaster.exe
05/11/2005  10:15a             237,854 psql.exe

And it does work:
D:\psql\bin>psql -d template1 -U ssf

It sounds surprising to hear that psql and the other utilities are
missing on PostgreSQL/Windows.

Hmm, maybe CoLinux http://www.colinux.org/ or CygWin
http://www.cygwin.com/ can help you, too.

So you ask us a question and at the same time you tell us that you're
not interested in the correct answer? :-)
