<br>
I am new to PostGIS and Postgres as well. I am trying to install PostGIS
on Postgres 8.4.4 running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I installed all the
dependencies: GEOS 3.2.2, Proj-4.7, libxml2-2.7.7, gdal-1.7.2 and all
the installation seems to go well. I have Postgres server up and running
in my localhost in socket 5432 (that I checked with the running
processes (ps -aux | grep post) and telnet (telnet localhost 5432)). I
can see the running processes for postgres and the telnet shows the
connection. I am able to createdb, dropdb, createlang plpgsql logging in
as postgres.<br>
// ----------------<br>
./configure <br>
//----------------------<br>
The make results:<br>
//--------------------------<br>
PostGIS was built successfully. Ready to install.<br>
//-----------------------------------------<br>
The make check gives the following errors:<br>
<br>
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory<br>
Is the server running locally and accepting<br>
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?<br>
<br>
Since I have been able to run the postgres server in the localhost in
socket 5432, why am I getting this error? Did I miss something while
configuring postgres? Anyone have any advice what to look for to get it
done?<br>
