install first before doing a make check is that the regress version installs a
version of postgis where the libdir is pointing at your regress folder .so/dll

<br>1] Postgresql server installed on the same machine which is performing the make check.<br>2] Postgresql server running prior to running "make check".<br>3] "make check" changes the library search path of the postgresql server at run time in order to insert it's own "custom" libs.<br>
<br>Do I need to run make check using the same (OS) user who is running the postgresql server, or can any (OS) user with access to the machine insert their own libraries into my running server? <br><br>Thanks!<br>Bryce<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The attached file is the output from "make check" (after
applying my patch on #1050). The CUnit tests appear to all run successfully.
Then there's another phase where something tries to connect to a running
server. This fails, of course, as there is no running server on my system (and
if there were, it wouldn't be the modified version).<br>
<br>
When I first saw this, I took this to be an indication that you never run
"make check" until the software is installed, the database cluster is
initialized, and everything is happy. But I was corrected into the belief that
"make check" should be run before "make install". But it's
still trying to connect to a server which isn't there. So is there a trick? If
the build system is supposed to be managing a "faux install" for testing
purposes, is there something in the error messages which indicates what's going
wrong? How isolated is the build directory from the system directories? (I'm
running this as a regular user.)<br>
<br>
And of course, postgis is just an extension to the postgresql server, it
doesn't contain the server code itself. How are you supposed to run the tests?<br>
