Hi Nicklas,<br><br>You're right it says "POSTGIS="1.4.2" GEOS="3.2.0-CAPI-1.6.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.1, 21 August 2008" USE_STATS".<br><br>The error I received when I tried to use Buffer, ST_Buffer, and _ST_Buffer was that the function did not exist and that it was a GEOS function.<br><br>Originally when I installed PostGIS 1.5, I received an error during the install saying that it couldn't write to the 3.2 library and that I could Abort, Retry, Or Ignore. I have tried all of the options, and it left me without the GEOS functionality. I don't know how to do a proper upgrade on postgis or postgres at this point, so I took the option of removing the whole lot and starting again. Desperate times...<br><br>I am reinstalling on the other computer and trying to reload my database dump at the moment.<br><br>Rebecca<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:30:44 +0200<br>From: nicklas.aven@jordogskog.no<br>To: postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net<br>CC: <br>Subject: Re: [postgis-users] geos proj stats modules all=v.1<br><br>

Hallo

<div align="left">I get the same answer for postgis_version()</div>
<div align="left">I just tells that postgis is compiled with geos and proj</div>
<div align="left"> </div>
<div align="left">try postgis_full_version instead, what do you get then?</div>

Hi,<br>
><br>
>I have recently tried installing postgesql 8.4 with PostGIS 1.5 ( now clean installs with v 1.4 instead ) onto to separate machines using the windows installer. I have only now realised that the buffer function is not available, despite being in the functions list. I checked the postgis_version() and the result was "1.4 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1".<br>

>The last time I installed this at work the correct geos module etc were installed. I have looked around and I can't find anything to say how I can manually change this. I believe it should be looking at the corrrect library as I found in the bin folder the libgeos-3-2-0.dll, libgeos_c-1.dll, libproj.dll files, but I don't know anything about them or how they are being referenced, other thatn one says 3.2 on it. I have tried looking for a postgis_config file, but I don't think that is something available to windows users(?)<br>
