[gdal-dev] Apparent problem with GDAL rpm (gdal-1.9.2-6.rhel6.i686)

[Robert Inder]

I fear my original subject line did not make the problem clear.

It looks like there is a problem with the 32-bit gdal RPM on the
pgdg94.repository (i.e. gdal-1.9.2-6.rhel6.i686).

Specifically, ogr2ogr cannot connect to a running postgres server, and
does not list PostgreSQL as one of the formats it supports

Whereas ogr2ogr from the corresponding 64-bit RPM on the same
repository can, and does.

This doesn't seem right.  Especially for a package in a
Postgres-focused repository!

Does anyone know whether ogrogr in that RPM SHOULD have a PostgreSQL driver?

Can anyone confirm whether it actually DOES?

Robert.
