<p>Sorry Brian, but I'm not sure what that means. There are a few scripts in the postgis 2 contrib directory. Do I just run them like I've been running the above commands e.g. psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis.sql<o:p></o:p></p>

Hi Mike/Remy/all,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help. I'm making progress. Please see below. My install is now using geos-3.3.8. Or seems to be.<br>
<br>
ldd /usr/pgsql-9.0/lib/<a href="http://postgis-2.0.so" target="_blank">postgis-2.0.so</a><br>
<br>
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff735fc000)<br>
libgeos_c.so.1 => /opt/Geos/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 (0x00002b4411d4d000)<br>
libproj.so.0 => /opt/Proj/lib/libproj.so.0 (0x00002b4411f74000)<br>
libjson.so.0 => /opt/json/lib/libjson.so.0 (0x00002b44121ca000)<br>
libxml2.so.2 => /opt/LibXml/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x00002b44123cb000)<br>
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00002b441270e000)<br>
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002b4412922000)<br>
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b4412ba5000)<br>
<a href="http://libgeos-3.3.8.so" target="_blank">libgeos-3.3.8.so</a> => /opt/Geos/lib/<a href="http://libgeos-3.3.8.so" target="_blank">libgeos-3.3.8.so</a><br>
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002b44132ab000)<br>
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002b44135ab000)<br>
libjson-c.so.2 => /opt/json/lib/libjson-c.so.2 (0x00002b44137ba000)<br>
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b44139c3000)<br>
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003f53000000)<br>
<br>
The following commands now seem to work:<br>
<br>
psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis.sql<br>
psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis_comments.sql psql -d yourdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql<br>
<br>
And when I go into my database and do SELECT postgis_full_version I get the following:<br>
<br>
POSTGIS="2.0.4SVN r11660" GEOS="3.3.8-CAPI-1.7.8" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.1, 21 August 2008" LIBXML="2.7.6" LIBJSON="UNKNOWN" TOPOLOGY<br>
<br>
However it says that Topology and Raster support are not present. So I thought that I could now run the following commands to install those<br>
too:<br>
<br>
psql -d yourdatabase -f rtpostgis.sql<br>
psql -d yourdatabase -f raster_comments.sql psql -d yourdatabase -f topology/topology.sql psql -d yourdatabase -f doc/topology_comments.sql<br>
<br>
However when I run them I get an error. The first line is:<br>
<br>
psql:/usr/pgsql-9.0/share/contrib/postgis-2.0/rtpostgis.sql:48: ERROR:<br>
could not load library "/usr/pgsql-9.0/lib/<a href="http://rtpostgis-2.0.so" target="_blank">rtpostgis-2.0.so</a>":<br>
<a href="http://libgeos-3.2.0.so" target="_blank">libgeos-3.2.0.so</a>: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br>
<br>
Any idea why there is still mention of libgeos-3.2.0 ? I thought I'd sorted that out now?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
James<br>
