<p>Hi Brett</p>
<p>Thanks for your answer!</p>
<p>Yes I have compiled the source with the command ant build.</p>
<p>The reason I didn't use the binaries is that I work on a mutualised server where I don't have admin rights. Thus I can't do anything that requires a sudo command like sudo apt-get.</p>
<p>After compilation I have put the path to osmosis (home/my_user/data/prog/package/bin) in the path variable. So now I simply call it from anywhere with the command "osmosis".</p>
<p>When I try osmosis --arguments I get this java error which makes me think that osmosis is found properly but that he doesn't find the path to some java library or something.</p>
<p>Does it make a difference that osmosis is installed in my home and not in a higher level directory?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

Hello<br><br>it's the first time I post on this list, so I hope it's the right place to ask this question!<br><br>I want to use Osmosis to keep a PostGIS database up-to-date (for use with Mapnik), as explained here <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Minutely_Mapnik" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Minutely_Mapnik</a><br>
<br>I have installed osmosis via git clone this morning, so I assume it's the last version (0.41)<br><br>Apparently, osmosis has been installed properly, because the command <i>osmosis</i> returns the usage example:<br>
