Thank you very much Mathieu, with the RHEL/CentOS base rpm for postgresql84 (instead of the pgdg84 from PGRPM ), the elgis rpm for postgis what installed like a charm!<div><br></div><div>Thank you for maintening those packages, I will definitely follow the evolution of this repo for my purpose.</div>

Hi Martin,<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> 1) postgresql 8.4.5 (for rhel 5) from pgdg84 repository = OK and functional<br>
<br>
</div>ELGIS is based on RHEL/CentOS and the EPEL repository, but not on the<br>
PGRPM repo (<a href="http://www.pgrpms.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pgrpms.org/</a>, aka. pgdg84 if I'm not mistaken),<br>
although it is an excellent repo for PostgreSQL stuff!<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>The postgis 1.5 package in ELGIS depends on the postgresql84* packages<br>
of RHEL/CentOS base (introduced in 5.5).<br>
My guess for your problem is that some PGRPM packages conflict with<br>
the postgresql84 packages (since the approach of PGRPM is to upgrade<br>
the base postgresql to a given version)<br>
<br>
Note that the PGRPM repo also has postgis:<br>
<a href="http://www.pgrpms.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/repoview/postgis.html" target="_blank">http://www.pgrpms.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/repoview/postgis.html</a>,<br>
but an older version (1.3.8).<br>
<br>
So your choices are:<br>
- you don't use the PGRPM repo, and use postgresql84-server of<br>
RHEL/CentOS base + our postgis (that would be my recommendation if you<br>
need a recent postgis)<br>
- you use the PGRPM repo and the older postgis<br>
- or you really want to use the PGRPM repo and your can hack and<br>
rebuild our postgis postgis SRPM, taking the dependencies from PGRPM<br>
(but we won't be able to support you)<br>
<br>
I hope this clarifies the situation.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
