[postgis-users] failure to load postgis.sql

[Christian Spanring]

I had the same erros while loading postgis.sql into my database (on Mac 
OS 10.3.1). So I tried to re-compile postgresql and postgis, proj4 and 
geos are already there and compiled without any errors or problems.
During postgresql "LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure ..." I got a warning 
that bison is too old, so I updated it to 1.8.5.

Those are the warnings that I got during postgresql make:
...
pgc.c:1386: warning: label `find_rule' defined but not used
...
pgc.c:3367: warning: `yy_flex_realloc' defined but not used
...

and those from postgis make:
...
postgis_debug.c:310: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
...
postgis_geos.c:248: warning: `resize_ptrArrayType' defined but not used
...
cc1plus: warning: "-Wmissing-declarations" is valid for C/ObjC but not 
for C++
...
ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _translate
...
getopt.c:115: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `strncmp'
getopt.c:602: warning: no previous prototype for `getopt'
...
shp2pgsql.c:569: warning: implicit declaration of function `getopt'
...
pgsql2shp.c:1321: warning: implicit declaration of function `getopt'

Any hints what I can try next would be very appreciated.
Thanks! Christian
