[geos-devel] Re: [postgis-users] Error compiling PostGIS + GEOS

GEOS and PostGIS users,

Since I last posted on this thread about my
installation problems, we upgraded our OS to SuSE 9.2
with the 2.6.8-24.16-default kernel. Also, for the
record, we are using gcc version 3.3.4.

Now after installing PostgreSQL 8.0.3, PostGIS 1.0.1
with the flags set in Makefile.config to include PROJ
and GEOS:

> USE_PROJ ?= 1
> PROJ_DIR ?= /usr/local
>
> USE_GEOS ?= 1
> GEOS_DIR ?= /usr/local

I try to do

> psql -f lwpostgis.sql -d test

from within the postgis-1.0.1 install directory, and I
get this error:

> psql:lwpostgis.sql:36: ERROR:  could not load
library > "/scratch/pgsql/lib/liblwgeom.so.1.0":
libgeos.so.2: > cannot open shared object file: No
such file or 
> directory

I notice that the liblwgeom.so.1.0 library doesn't
link to the geos or proj libraries:

even though both libgeos.so.2 and libproj.so.0 are
present in /usr/local/lib.

Can anyone help here? Should the PROJ_DIR and GEOS_DIR
variables in the Makefile.config point to
/usr/local/lib instead of /usr/local?

Thanks,

Chip Masters
