<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>the preferred way to access PostGIS is through Mapserver. So you don't need to compile PostGIS support into OGR (the vector part of GDAL).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You need the PostgreSQL client libraries in order to compile, aka libpq. Runtime you also need the libpq .dll or .so depending on your platform.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Best regards,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I notice both GDAL and Mapserver have options to be compiled with support for PostGIS. Is it necessary to compile PostGIS support into GDAL as well as the Mapserver executable? Also do Postgresql/PostGIS have to be installed on the machine compiling (then running) Mapserver? Or are there just certain PostGIS libraries that can be applied?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for any help,</FONT>
</P>
