Re: pg_wrapper error

[José Pedro Santos <zpsantos1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Postgres 9.1 in Ubuntu Distribution (12.04 LTS).

When I try to use the shp2pgsql after the pg_wrapper error said that I don't have that function, so I enable that function with this command:

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/postgresql-common/pg_wrapper /usr/local/bin/shp2pgsql

then I try to import again with the same _expression_ that I used before: 

shp2pgsql /home/user/Downloads/Africa_Boundaries/africa.shp teste2.africa | psql -d MyDatabase

And I have the pg_wrapper error (Error: pg_wrapper: invalid command name)


Many thanks
José Santos
