Regina, Leo, Chris,
I had previously installed from packages on Ubuntu Linux, which means
Postgres 8.2 and PostGIS 1.2 (repositories aren't up to date). I just
decided to build everything from source (Postgres, Proj4, GEOS, and
PostGIS), and SRID 4269 is in spatial_ref_sys. I don't think it was
there previously, but then again, I might have missed it. I did
SELECT * FROM spatial_ref_sys WHERE srtext LIKE '%NAD83';
but if 4269 was in the results, I didn't spot it.
So, if I understand correctly, I should run shp2pgsql with -s 4269 in
order to import the shapefiles that I download from the census.
Thanks for your help,
