<P><FONT size=2><EM><SPAN class=571160821-04122003><FONT face=Arial

compiling PostGIS to be used with PostgreSQL 7.3.4, but PostGIS is compiling
for PostgreSQL 7.4. One of the PostGIS <SPAN

class=571160821-04122003><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff> </FONT></SPAN>will have to confirm this, but I
believe that a PostGIS compile for PostgreSQL 7.4 will not work with
PostgreSQL 7.3.4 (which is the 7.3 version). If your PostgreSQL version is
7.3.4, you will have to have a source directory called *7.3* or modify the
PostGIS Makefile to USE_VERSION=73.</EM></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>I use PostGIS 0.8.0 /
PostgreSQL 7.3.4 / GEOS 1.0.0/ PROJ 4.4.7 on WIndows XP with cygwin

0.8.0 can be built against PostgreSQL versions 7.1.0 to 7.4.x

<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>that's right!!!</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>once you (it you want) installed proj and
geos (use_proj=1 and use_geos=1 in the makefile of postgis) you go to
your postgis directory and do</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>make clean</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>make</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>you will have (postgis.sql, postgis.dll...)
in your postgis directory</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>open your postgis.sql and you have to
replace $libdir by the path to your postgis directory</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=571160821-04122003>example: if your directory is
/usr/local/postgresql-7.3.4/contrib/postgis-0.8.0 then replace $libdir
