[mapguide-users] Not much luck with ogr or postgis on Ubuntu

[Traian Stanev]

Could you open providers.xml (should be under your fdo-3.3.0/lib) and find the entries for the PostGIS and OGR providers, then send us those snippets?

Hi All,

I seem to be unable to answer mailing list messages in nabble at the moment, and only get the daily digest otherwise, so here goes:

1: Dave suggested there should be Provider.so files in the FDO/bin directory but I don't have that- only /usr/local/fdo-3.3.0/lib and they are all in there. Doing a search for one of the other providers seems to suggest that's the only location for all of them, which may be wrong?

2: Running ldd -r on libPostGISProvider.so gives me the following line that I don't get when I run any of the others (including ogr): undefined symbol: crypt (./libPostGISProvider.so)

3: Not sure how to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but running echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't give me anything

Thanks for all the replies

Jo

I ran into the same problem the last time I checked.  Perhaps we need to
put the PostGIS and OGR shared libraries into the include path before
running MapGuide or something?  I unfortunately don't know enough about
this stuff works on *nix to be able to figure out where to start.  Is
there something equivalent to depends.exe on windows?



Are the .so files for the drivers to talk to PostGIS or OGR in some directory other than the FDO/bin directory? If so then add the path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and try again. Otherwise copy the .so files into the FDO/bin folder.

At least that's how the other FDO providers work. The.so files need to be in the same folder or in the system path.

I can't start my VM right now, but if you look in your FDO directory,
can you see whether the appropriate provider library files were built
for these?

Any FDO folks have any ideas about this?
