[postgis-users] install problems Postgis 1.4.0 with Postgres 8.4.0on Mac OS X 10.5

Punish,

It sounds like you are using the wrong script and some how you also managed
to load a 1.3 liblwgeom for 8.3 on an 8.4 install.  If you are using PostGIS
1.4.0 then you should be using a script called postgis.sql


As of PostGIS 1.4.0 the postgis lib is also versioned.

So while the old ones were always called liblwgeom

the new ones will be called

postgis-1.4
postgis-1.5

and so on.

and of course it appears your liblwgeom while being for PostGIS 1.3 probably
is not even for 8.4 but is for 8.3

Did you compile your own install or did you get from somewhere?

Thanks,
Regina

I did a pretty plain vanilla Postgres 8.4.0 and Postgis 1.4.0 installation
on my Macbook, but am getting the following error when trying to build my
first db

Lucknow:~ postgres$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -d punkish -f
/usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql
BEGIN
psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is
not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql:44: ERROR:  incompatible library
"/usr/local/pgsql/lib/liblwgeom.so": version mismatch
DETAIL:  Server is version 8.4, library is version 8.3.
psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql:50: ERROR:  current transaction is
aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block

How did I end up with a mismatch between the server and the liblwgeom.so
lib? And, most importantly, what do I do to correct this?

Many thanks in advance,
