instead? There are valid reasons to use cygwin (instructor says you need
to, similar linux/windows dev environments for class, gcc compiler, etc), I just
want to make sure you aren't making it more difficult than you need
to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi everyone!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am currently working on a project for school that requires the use
of PostGIS and</DIV>
<DIV>so I quickly went to the various websites to find out the
requirements. I am currently</DIV>
<DIV>stuck in installation of PostGIS. So far, this is my
progress:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Installed Cygwin and development tools like gcc, readline etc.</DIV>
<DIV>Installed Proj4.4.6</DIV>
<DIV>Installed Geos-2.2.3</DIV>
<DIV>Installed Postgresql-8.2.0 using the source tree (./configure, make, make
check, make install, although there was a problem with make check)</DIV>
<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 I go to postgresql-8.2.0/contrib/postgis-1.1.6 in CYGWIN and
type:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The build seems fine at first but eventually I encounter an error:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I encounter this with PostGIS versions 1.2.0 and 1.1.6. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Would anyone know why this problem is occuring? I am currently
stuck here and</DIV>
<DIV>I don't know how to proceed. I would really appreciate help with
this problem if</DIV>
<DIV>anyone has encountered it and has solved it. I would also
appreciate the validation of the paths I used for GEOS and PROJ4.
Thank you for your cooperation and</DIV>
<DIV>time in reading this :D</DIV>
