[postgis-users] installation of cygPostGIS_731.gz package from Norman

[peng zhang]

Hi, Norman and List

I untar the cygPostGIS_731.gz , and I downloaded the cygPostGIS_731.gz 
package from Norman, which is prebuilt.I untar it at C:/cygwin/usr, then i 
followed the instructions to set up database with PostGIS support,where I 
met the below errors.
********************************************************************************
$ psql -U postgres -d myGISdb -f postgis.sql
BEGIN
        message
------------------------
PL/PgSQL is installed.
(1 row)
psql:postgis.sql:18: NOTICE:  ProcedureCreate: type histogram2d is not yet 
defined
psql:postgis.sql:18: ERROR:  Load of file /usr/lib/postgresql/postgis.dll 
failed: dlopen: Win32 error 126
psql:postgis.sql:23: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, queries ignored 
until end of transactin block
psql:postgis.sql:31: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, queries ignored 
until end of transactin block
......
*********************************************************************************
I noticed actually the directory of /usr/lib/postgresql does not exist, so I 
created /postgresql manually, and copy postgis.dll and libpostgis.a under 
here, but error still appear.
I think all these happens due to my poor knowladge of UNIX. Anybody got the 
experience of deploying Postgis package from Norman? any hint will be 
appreciated.

Regards

pierre
