Hi Mike,

This is a known issue with PostGIS and the PostgreSQL 8.2 JDBC driver.
I'd say you've got two options: i) download and use the latest
postgresql-8.1.jdbc3.jar file instead and see whether it will talk to
PostgreSQL 8.2/PostGIS, or ii) copy the jdbc directory from the latest
SVN snapshot into your PostGIS source tree, then re-do configure and
make.


Kind regards,

Mark.
