[postgis-users] shp2pgsql

[Paragon Corporation]

 Bob,

Copy is better.  So copy the file as William said, and rename the new copy
libiconv2.dll.

Some programs refer to it by libiconv-2.dll and some as libiconv2.dll.  It's
a complicated story, but they  are generally interchangeable.

However if you simply rename the existing, you'll break some other
application.

Its sounds like you are running an older shp2pgsql though because I think in
later versions we changed to libiconv-2.dll to be consistent with PostgreSQL
windows build

Can you when you have your system working, at dos prompt do a 

shp2pgsql 

And let us know the version number it returns at top.

It's the part that reads like

RCSID: $Id: shp2pgsql-core.h 5098 2010-01-04 05:47:04Z pramsey $ RELEASE:
1.5 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1


Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean by - "copy libiconv-2.dll to
> libiconv2.dll."

Do you mean rename??
