I'm running Postgresql version 8.1 with postgis 1.3.6 (I believe but not sure) on Linux RHEL5 machine.<br>I'm able to run the std_within (geom, geom, distance) type query but when I tried the std_intersects, I realized I didn't install the geos module when installing postgis...unless its hidden somewhere. <br><br>So, my question is, what's the easiest way to get the geos functionality? I doubt we're going to upgrade postgis or postgresql. I have to rely on someone who has root priviliges to do this, so I need a fairly easy way since he's not that familiar with the database. I assume I backup the database using the standard postgresql commands? <br><pre class="SYNOPSIS">pg_dump <tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>dbname</i></tt> > <tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>outfile<br><br></i>Or is there a special postgis backup I need to use?<br><br>Thanks for any help!<br>Shad<br></tt></pre><br><br><br /><hr />Lauren found her dream laptop. <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/choosepc/?ocid=ftp_val_wl_290' target='_new'>Find the PC that’s right for you.</a></body>
