[postgis-users] gpc integration - geoprocessing

[Robert W. Burgholzer]

Hello,
I am new to the list here, but caught a thread regarding the gpc
geo-processing libraries in the archives. Some code was included, but as
I am relatively inexperienced in compiling addons for postgres, I am a
little uncertain.
I moved the soot_gpc.c and .h codes into /postgres7.2--/src/include/ and
tried executing:
   gcc soot_gpc.c
but got the following errors and a couple other like it:
    access/gist.h:17:25: access/itup.h: No such file or directory
Of course all of those files are there, and it seems as if the file
gist.h is trying to look in a subdirectory for itup.h when in fact it is
in the same dir. I could change the include lines in gist.h, but am
I missing something here? Should I be "make-ing" the whole postgres app
over again, or something else?

Sorry for the lame question, but I am really looking forward to doing
some geoprocessing in postgis, but am inexperienced with the coding
procedures.

Any help would be great,
