[postgis-devel] Compiling PostGIS against PostgreSQL 8.4

[Jorge Arévalo]

Hello,

I've recently updated from Postgresql 8.3 to 8.4, due to an update on
Ubuntu (from 9.04 to 9.10). When trying to create new spatial
databases, by executing postgis.sql, I get an error because
LWGEOM_samebox is not found in library object. The problem is
postgis.sql is looking for this function in the old library object,
this is /usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/lib/postgis-1.5.so, instead on
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/postgis-1.5.so

When I run ./configure, I get 8.4 as PostgreSQL version, but I don't
know how to avoid the linking against the old library object.

How should I do it?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Jorge
