+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #997191 +++ Description of problem: For some reason upstream changed the loader/shp2pgsql to be the libtool script and landed the binary in loader/.libs/shp2pgsql and as a side effect it doesn't currently work in Fedora Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postgis-2.0.3-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install postgis 2. shp2pgsql Actual results: $ shp2pgsql mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/bin/.libs’: Permission denied /usr/bin/shp2pgsql: line 202: cd: /builddir/build/BUILD/postgis-2.0.3/loader: No such file or directory gcc: error: shpopen.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: dbfopen.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: getopt.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: shpcommon.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: safileio.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: shp2pgsql-core.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: shp2pgsql-cli.o: No such file or directory Expected results: $ shp2pgsql RELEASE: 2.0.3 (r11128) USAGE: shp2pgsql [<options>] <shapefile> [[<schema>.]<table>] OPTIONS: -s [<from>:]<srid> Set the SRID field. Defaults to 0. Optionally reprojects from given SRID (cannot be used with -D). (-d|a|c|p) These are mutually exclusive options: -d Drops the table, then recreates it and populates it with current shape file data. -a Appends shape file into current table, must be exactly the same table schema. -c Creates a new table and populates it, this is the default if you do not specify any options. -p Prepare mode, only creates the table. -g <geocolumn> Specify the name of the geometry/geography column (mostly useful in append mode). -D Use postgresql dump format (defaults to SQL insert statements). -e Execute each statement individually, do not use a transaction. Not compatible with -D. -G Use geography type (requires lon/lat data or -s to reproject). -k Keep postgresql identifiers case. -i Use int4 type for all integer dbf fields. -I Create a spatial index on the geocolumn. -S Generate simple geometries instead of MULTI geometries. -t <dimensionality> Force geometry to be one of '2D', '3DZ', '3DM', or '4D' -w Output WKT instead of WKB. Note that this can result in coordinate drift. -W <encoding> Specify the character encoding of Shape's attribute column. (default: "UTF-8") -N <policy> NULL geometries handling policy (insert*,skip,abort). -n Only import DBF file. -T <tablespace> Specify the tablespace for the new table. Note that indexes will still use the default tablespace unless the -X flag is also used. -X <tablespace> Specify the tablespace for the table's indexes. This applies to the primary key, and the spatial index if the -I flag is used. -? Display this help screen.

Seems like the fixed package has already been shipped, thanks Jozef/Dave.
I'm running into this issue again, it seems this patch never made it from testing to stable. Is there any reason for that? Can we add some karma to make it official?
