[postgis-users] differences in postgis 1.3.3 between ubuntu andwindows

[Obe, Regina]

Willy,
Those functions all rely on the new GEOS (3+).  So since you are running
the old GEOS on Ubuntu those don't get installed.  That's the expected
behavior.  You should upgrade your GEOS on ubuntu if you want to use
those.
 
Hope that helps,
Regina

Hi,

I compared all the functions in postgis 1.3.3 between Ubuntu 8.04 and
Windows XP.
I used this query:
SELECT p.proname, n.nspname, p.pronargs, p.proargnames
FROM pg_proc p
JOIN pg_namespace n ON (p.pronamespace = n.oid)
WHERE n.nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') 
ORDER BY n.nspname ASC, p.proname ASC, p.pronargs DESC;

The respective full version strings are:
ubuntu:   POSTGIS="1.3.3" GEOS="2.2.3-CAPI-1.1.1" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.0, 21
Dec 2007" USE_STATS'
windows: POSTGIS="1.3.3" GEOS="3.0.0-CAPI-1.4.1" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.0, 21
Dec 2007" USE_STATS'

Turn out that thare are 5 functions in the windows version that are not
in the ubuntu one:
_st_coveredby
_st_covers
st_coveredby
st_covers
st_simplifypreservetopology

why?
