09:25:28 darkblue_B: I thought you might know
09:26:10 darkblue_B: there is a database by the name of the user, and I have createdb privs on that user in pg, I believe
09:28:04 strk: darkblue_B: make install is needed

10:18:02 CIA-4: hobu * r2598 /trunk/source/Makefile.vc: fix up syntax of the makefile related to the patch for #257
11:11:43 JFox: Hello all. I've got a semi-newbish question I was hoping someone could help me with. I have some spatial data persisted as SRID 4326, and I need to make some distance queries that use meters rather than degrees. I have to determine the distance of points from lines, so ST_Distance_Spheroid, etc won't work for me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
