Need help with postgresql - postgis please.

Hello,
I have installed postgresql, pgadmin3 and postgis from arch packages.

I need "shp2pgsql-gui" so as to add a plugin in pgadmin3. However, from postgis package, I only got the command-line version (shp2pgsql).  [In Fedora, postgis package had shp2pgsql-gui]
From where can I get the gui version? (shp2pgsql-gui)

While searching, I came across opengeo suite. I read it does contain shp2pgsql-gui, but it's really a heavy suite, and I don't think I'd need the entire suite - also installing the entire suite for shp2pgsql-gui doesn't make sense.
From where can I obtain shp2pgsql-gui in arch? Most of the guides I found are for Ubuntu (apt) or rpm-based distros.

Re: Need help with postgresql - postgis please.

You need to rebuild postgis with the --with-gui flag set in the PKGBUILD  to produce the shp2pgsql-gui binary.

As well as adding the flag you may need to add additional dependencies to the PKGBUILD, read the PostGIS documentation to make sure.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Thanks a lot. Building postgis-src solved the issue.
