Hi,

The first build of the GeoTools2 is almost OK except that of PostGIS.
This is module that I am most interested in.
By doing "maven test" in PostgisTest.java (excluding all other tests) only.

I am getting the following console message excerpt
.....
    [junit] 25/11/2003 11:03:39 org.geotools.data.postgis.PostgisTest setUp
    [junit] INFO: exception while making schemaCouldn't make schema: org.geotool

r jdbc_test of the postgis install.  A row for geom is required   for geotools t
o work correctly

ow for geom is required   for geotools to work correctly
......

I installed PostGreSQL/PostGIS correctly and tested with the accompanying sample of the PostGIS
and it worked perfectly. Now I am wondering if any additional sql script is needed to load into PostGre, besides
postgis.sql,
in order to make the GeoTools run properly.

I guess that the table geometry_columns must be loaded. So, is there any standard procedure for doing that?
Do I need to run the samples in some specified order?

thanks a lot
Carlos
