I can create postGIS layers from shapes and viceversa using the shp2pg and 
pg2shp  program provided by compiling postgis si I figure it is fine;
could it be a bad version of ogr?  I had some trouble compiling GDAL-OGR in 
my PC so I compiled  it on another PC (running the same version of LINUX 
Mandrake) and then I copied the binaries to my pc..... it is just a mystery 
fo me how can something get a compile error on one PC and not on an 
identical PC... boh?!


I'll give it more tries and I'll let you know.
  Thanks
