[postgis-users] Compilation

[Shaz Shaz]

Thanks for the reply Paul.
The problem is that I have other things that rely on
an old version of Postgres, postgres 7.2. Because of
that I would like to integrate postgis in to my
current redhat postgres version. You also don't have
rpms for postgres 7.2 on Redhat 7.3. Is there a way of
compiling  postgis and placing it in a location on the
existing RedHat postgres 7.2 install. Could someone
please describe a way of doing this, without losing
the RedHAT postgres install?

Thanks very much for your help.

Regards
Roger
