Hmmm, me neither :(

It seems to suggest a broken compiler or installation - perhaps one of the
libraries upon which PostGIS depends has been installed from a binary
RPM/package compiled from a different version of gcc which shows up this
particular bug? It may be worth checking if Chip has manually compiled and
installed all the relevant libraries on the same machine.


Kind regards,

Mark.
