Hi again,

You said earlier that you had run the upgrade.sql. I take this is from the 1.3.1 distros upgrade script?

The "meet" of postgis is essentially a new datatype (geometry) and a bunch of function that operate on geometries. Almost all of them calls libwgeom, which i think wraps either geos or proj4 library for most calls.
I upgraded my postgis to 1.2.1 two months ago by issuing a make install.
After that I dumped my db:s to file using pg_dump and dropped them from the running system and ran lwpostgis.sql and spatial_ref_sys.sql using the psql client.
This is what I think is generally  called a "hard upgrade".

So, if you havent done it, I recomend either test create a db and run above scripts to install postgis into it.
If that works, then dump/drop/restore your proper database.

With this said, I'm running ubuntu and basically gets everything served by the package maintainer, so practise on upgrades etc seldom happens.

Maybe som of the more hardcore devs listens here, and can give further pointers.

Regards,
Pelle

so.. continuing on... all that Make install does is..
   rm -f theOldLib
   ln newlib oldLib

I did that by hand.. but, Postgres still looks for the old file..
Postgres has to be informed of the new lib somehow..

this has not come up for anyone?
bug submission process??
