Pre2 postgis woes

[William Kyngesburye]

I can't add any postgis layers in 1.0p2.  I can connect to get the  
layer list, but any layer I try to add gives an error that it's an  
invalid layer (and that's all it says).  1.0p1 has no problem.

Now, I got thoroughly distracted by a project a couple weeks ago when  
I first noticed this, and just got back to it.  I have this nagging  
suspicion that I had already figured it out, likely as a simple  
runtime thing (ie not recompiling with some other library version or  
config option).  But I didn't find any notes, or any emails, with this  
info.  Maybe I didn't figure it out...

This is with my OSX builds (of course).

My own builds are working, but this is from trunk. I use your postgis,  
but may have skipped your last revision.

Well, to answer my own question, it was a bizarre bundling issue.  In  
a random thought to simplify a bit, when bundling the Postgres library  
libpq I renamed it to just 'libpq.dylib', leaving out the library  
version.  I'm sure I got all the install_name references to it in  
Qgis, but either I missed one (there were no errors in the console) or  
libpq just didn't like it.

So, left it as libpq.5.dylib, changed all the install_name references  
to match, and no more invalid postgis layers.
