[postgis-users] liblwgeom.1.1.so - Error installing PostGIS

[Christian Heine]

Hi strk,
thanks for the reply - I was just about to write another message to  
the list explaining the problems I experience:

I made a clean install today just to double check if I did something  
wrong yesterday:
- geos version 2.2.1 from source (no special configure flags)
- postgresql version 8.1.2 from source
- postgis version 1.1.1 from source (no special configure flags)
(used the existing proj 4.4.9)

After compiling everything and setting up a new database I tried to  
load postgis - different error as yesterday but still related to a  
missing symbol in the liblwgeom.1.1.so library:
----------------------------------------
$ psql icons < lwpostgis.sql
BEGIN
NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/liblwgeom. 
1.1.so": Symbol not found: _MemoryContextSwitchTo
   Referenced from: /usr/local/pgsql/lib/liblwgeom.1.1.so
   Expected in: flat namespace
----------------------------------------

Ok, deleted everything (incl the geos libraries) and installed the  
pre-compiled stuff (libraries + postgresl 8.1.2 + postgis 1.1.1) from  
http://www.kyngchaos.com/macosx/downloads.php:

- postgis loads correctly but when I try using the "geomfromewkt"  
function I get:

----------------------------------------
ERROR:  function geomfromewkt("unknown", integer) does not exist
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You may  
need to add explicit type casts.
----------------------------------------

As I can recall from some of my work, geomfromewkt has been working  
fine with postgresql 8.0.3 and postgis 1.0.0. The stuff I tried to  
load was from an earlier mail to this list: Elwood Cordery: "[postgis- 
users] RE: HELP 3d spatial bounding box" and some of simple polygons  
I created myself.

Ok, I will give it a go.

I installed geos from source today - version 2.2.1 - see above

2.2.1

Grateful for _any_ feedback!
