Well Linux it looks like BigSQL  still distributes, but I suspect that might be 
someone who took that over.  They had sent a notice months ago about 
discontinuing windows and Mac.  Sorry guess I got your message confused with 
the other one from someone asking to build under Windows.

 

For Mac, I’d go with Postgres.app

 

https://postgresapp.com/downloads.html

 

They have PostgreSQL 12 beta3 and PostGIS 3.0.0alpha3 even.  Though I’m not 
sure if that will have the NetCDF libraries you are looking for.  I suspect 
not, but worth a try.

 

That said I’m not a mac user, so perhaps someone else on the list might be 
better able to answer.

 

Hope that helps,

Regina

Ah, I should have specified that I'm working on a Mac (OS X 10.14).  I'm really 
sorry to hear that BigSQL has stopped shipping (although I see they have a PG12 
beta release that is marked as 2019, so they must have stopped only recently.)  

 

Any chance you could suggest a good distribution for Linux and Mac, to replace 
BigSQL?   

 

Thanks,

 

John

FWIW BigSQL made their windows builds under Mingw64 as well. So what I outlined 
is pretty much how they do it.  In fact they asked me for guidance when they 
were building these.

The binaries our windows buildbot builds, worked fine on BigSQL last I tested 
them:

 

https://postgis.net/windows_downloads/

 

The main caveat is the paths are different in bigsql – so where

 

https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg11/buildbot/

 

(in the zip the lib would go in - postgresql/lib , postgresql/bin ) of your 
PostgreSQL install.

 

 

I think BigSQL has sadly since stopped shipping (their Mac and Windows)  since 
Amazon bought OpenSCG (main company behind BigSQL).

 

Let me know if you run into any issues.  I may have left out some dependencies 
I know that EDB packages to prevent people from overwriting EDB files and some 
of these may not be shipped with BigSQL or go by a different name.

 

Thanks,

Regina

Hi Regina, thanks for your answer.  Your reply ended up in the wrong email 
folder so I didn't see it until just now.  

 

I'm using the BigSQL distribution (i.e., PostgreSQL and associated libraries as 
provided by bigsql.org <http://bigsql.org> ).  

 

SELECT postgis_full_version() gives this:

"POSTGIS="2.5.0 r16836" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="110" GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 0" 
PROJ="Rel. 4.9.2, 08 September 2015" GDAL="GDAL 2.2.0, released 2017/04/28" 
LIBXML="2.9.0" LIBJSON="0.12.1" TOPOLOGY RASTER"

 

Sounds like maybe I should contact BigSQL.org with the question.  I appreciate 
you giving me some perspective.  

 

John

Which package system did you get your PostGIS from?

What you can load via raster2pgsql depends on what drivers your GDAL is 
compiled with.  It might have been an omission on the part of the packager, 
like perhaps in past they used the standard base packages to get GDAL and 
because GDAL from base is always old, they might have compiled their own to 
ship to get newer GDAL and didn't include the kitchen sink that the base OS 
package includes.
NetCDF is not in the default compile of GDAL as it requires additional 
dependencies.

Hope that helps,
Regina

Hi all,

I recently discovered that my new version of raster2pgsql doesn't work for 
importing netcdf files, but an older version I have on my computer does.  I'm 
wondering if netcdf handling has been dropped/deprecated in the later version.  

With postgresql version 11.0 and postgis 2.5, this fails:
raster2pgsql -s 4326 -c -F -t 256x256 NETCDF:"[myfile]":p mytable | psql -h 
localhost -U [user] -d [database]

...but this works with an older version of raster2pgsql that came with 
PostgreSQL 9.4:
/usr/local/old_pgsql-9.4/bin/raster2pgsql -s 4326 -c -F -t 256x256 
NETCDF:"[myfile]":p mytable | psql -h localhost -U [user] -d [database]

I also note that "netcdf" is not included in the list of formats returned by 
'raster2pgsql -G' with the new version.

Thanks,

John
