[postgis-users] Error running postgis.sql and libpostgis.so.0.7

[Paul Ramsey]

Chris,
In the 7.1 indexes, the C function ggeometry_consistent returns a bool,
and the SQL binding also defines bool as the return.  In the 7.2
indexes, the C function returns a Datum, though the SQL returns a bool.
Could it be that the type checking is stronger in solaris? Test the 7.2
bindings on ox and see if it works there.
