instance running the 64-bit version of Fedora 8. I've installed PostgreSQL
8.4, Proj, GEOS, and libxml. When I try to configure PostGIS, using the

--with-geosconfig<BR>>><BR><BR>Now, I have geos_c.h installed in
/root/sources/geos/geos-3.2.0/capi. Can someone please tell me what I'm
doing wrong? By the way, I'm following these instructions:<BR><BR><A
