[postgis-users] PostGIS' gentoo ebuild and PostGIS manual transalation

["R. Müller"]

hi Gérald,

as far as i can see, my installation works fine under ~amd64 :-).

i added the 'amd64'-keyword to the ebuild as you mentioned
it and merged it.

'select postgis_full_version();' says :

'POSTGIS="1.1.2" GEOS="2.1.2" PROJ="Rel. 4.4.9, 29 Oct 2004" USE_STATS'

are there somemore tests i can do ?

for me there is no reason anymore to leave the amd64-keyword out.

regards

ronald
