<div>Thanx guys for your replies! ill be trying to use the windows pre-compiled version in</div> <div>a while. Well the main reason I tried the CYGWIN path with compiling is I thought</div> <div>that it would offer more customization just in case I needed to change something or</div> <div>look at the code made. Another is I am not sure if the windows precompiled version</div> <div>comes with GEOS and PROJ4. Would you guys know? Although now I do think ill go for the pre-compiled version just to get POSTGIS to work :D. Thanks for everything. ill just post again if I run into any problems with the pre-compiled </div> <div>version. <BR><BR><B><I>Craig Miller <craig.miller@spatialminds.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN

<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>After setting these up I followed the instructions on PostGIS.pdf.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I placed the unzipped folder of PostGIS-1.1.6 (Also tried 1.2.0 but same problem)</DIV> <DIV>under :</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>C:\cygwin\home\Mon\postgresql-8.2.0\contrib</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also changed the Makefile.config to for Proj4 and GEOS:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><FONT size=2> <DIV>USE_PROJ=1</DIV> <DIV>PROJ_DIR=/usr/local</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:PROJ_LIBDIR=@PROJ_LIBDIR">PROJ_LIBDIR=@PROJ_LIBDIR</A>@</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><FONT size=2> <DIV>USE_GEOS=1</DIV> <DIV>GEOS_DIR=/usr/local</DIV> <DIV>GEOS_LDFLAGS=@GEOS_LDFLAGS@</DIV> <DIV># EXPERIMENTAL! use geos C-API (only available with GEOS-2.2.x and up)</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:USE_GEOS_CAPI=@USE_GEOS_CAPI">USE_GEOS_CAPI=@USE_GEOS_CAPI</A>@</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Im not sure if the directory paths are correct.....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway
