[GRASSLIST:8552] Re: PostGIS and libs

[Graham Watt-Gremm]

Hello Costas,
I've been through this just last week - I compiled and installed  
PostgreSQL, proj4, and GEOS in their default locations, and  
configured postGIS according to directions (all on OSX 10.4.2). I've  
since used both GRASS (61cvs, Lorenzo's newest binaries (cheers to  
lorenzo!)) and QGIS to interact with a postGIS database, including  
shape manipulation and reprojection, without a hitch. Good luck with  
yours...
