[postgis-users] Installing PostGIS

[Robert W. Burgholzer]

Eric,
If it is pre-installed, then I think it is not from source. A download and 
source install of Postgresql is not difficult, having done so myself on 
Fedora 2, it really requires no extras. I believe it went

configure
make
make install


Good luck,
r.b.
