 Reporter:  jeffmeyer      |       Owner:  robe         
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium         |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.1
Component:  documentation  |     Version:  2.0.x        
 Keywords:  ubuntu         |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Current doc reads:

 INSTALLATION
 ------------

 To install PostGIS library and utilities, as postgres run::

   make install

 But, for a Ubuntu clean install of OS, PostGRESQL 9.1, and PostGIS 2.0,
 this yields the following error:

 postgres at jeffmetp:~/postgis-2.0.1SVN$ sudo make install
 [sudo] password for postgres:
 postgres is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
 postgres at jeffmetp:~/postgis-2.0.1SVN$


 As it is, following the install instructions will cause a fail.

 Not sure what the proper installation instructions should be.
