Re: [josm-dev] IPv6 problems

I should clarify: My IPv6 setup is working fine. The problem is that my upstream ISP has routes to most parts of the v6 world but is missing a few, I'm guessing due to a peering dispute. This is the same sort of thing that can happen in v4, although I think it is less common. So this is a

Re: [OSM-dev] Trouble with osm2pgsql and Postgres 8.4, Postgis 1.4

Despite what apple claimed, OS X 10.6 was a major change that flipped the default toolchain to making 64-bit (amd64) binaries by default instead of 32-bit (i386) binaries. pkgsrc (www.pkgsrc.org) recently added support to force 32-bit mode. It may be that you are having a mix of 32 and 64.
