Unfortunately the template_gis stuff in the 1.2.1 release was
horrendously broken (and I would like to totally re-write it before the
next release). For a start, it has Debian-specific dpkg commands
embedded in it :(

I would suggest totally removing template_gis from the main GNUMakefile
and not including it in the build, e.g. do the equivalent of:

  
-all: Makefile.config liblwgeom loaderdumper utils templategis
+all: Makefile.config liblwgeom loaderdumper utils
 
-install: all liblwgeom-install loaderdumper-install templategis-install
+install: all liblwgeom-install loaderdumper-install 
 
-uninstall: liblwgeom-uninstall loaderdumper-uninstall docs-uninstall templategis-uninstall
+uninstall: liblwgeom-uninstall loaderdumper-uninstall docs-uninstall
 
-clean: Makefile.config liblwgeom-clean loaderdumper-clean docs-clean test-clean templategis-clean
+clean: Makefile.config liblwgeom-clean loaderdumper-clean docs-clean test-clean 


This should then work without any problems.


Kind regards,

Mark.
