[postgis-users] PostGIS in a shared environnement

[Paul Ramsey]

You do need system privs in the database itself in order to create the
function bindings and index bindings for postgis. However there is no
need for system privs on the machine. The .so files can reside anywhere
(as long as postgis.sql correctly references their location) and
postgis.sql can reside anywhere.

I'm thinking that building PostGIS against a local version of the source then installing the libs in lib/contrib dir should be OK. Do I really need to install postgis.sql in share/contrib? I don't care about the binaries.
