I wrote time zone *database*, not time zone. The time zone database is (in some configurations) part of glibc. I also wrote PostGIS dependent libraries, not PostGIS itself. If you are comparing RHEL 5 and 6, as you wrote elsewhere, then some of those will most likely be different. (Heck, glibc could be different. Is glibc never allowed to fix insufficiencies in its floating-point implementation, for example?) Also, there is nothing that guarantees that the PostGIS version will be the same on both sides. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
