[geos-devel] Problems building PostGIS Head on Linux

[Charlie Savage]

I've been building PostGIS on linux (and Windows) using the autoconf 
tool chain without problems, until the 1.1CVS version (I noticed the 
problem last month and I still have it).

When building the current head version of CVS I run into two issues.  
First, the build scripts can't find postgres.h.  Second, they install 
lwgeom in the wrong place.

Setup:
 * postgresql 8.1 in usr/src/postgresql-8.1
 * postgis 1.0.6 in the contrib directory as postgis-1.0.6
 * postgis 1.1 cvs in the contrib directory as postgis

With postgis 1.0.6 I can do ./configure --enable-autoconf --with-geos 
--with-proj4 and everything works as expected.  With postgis 1.1CVS this 
does not work because when I run make gcc can't find postgres.h. To make 
it work I have to run make like this:

make CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/src/postgresql-8.1/src/include'

Then run I run make install the libraries get installed to /usr/bin, 
instead of /usr/bin/postgresql where they should go.  I tried playing 
with the config --libdir and --libexecdir to no avail.

Output from pg_config (where I think postgis is getting its build info 
from is) is included below.  Wondering if I'm doing something wrong?
