[postgis-users] Re: ./configure all over again?

[Paul Ramsey]

Threepenny install directions:

tar xvfz proj-4.4.5.tar.gz
cd proj*
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

tar xvfz geos-cvs.tar.gz
cd geos*
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

tar xvfz postgresql-7.3.4.tar.gz
cd postgresql-7.3.4
LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure
make
make install
cd contrib
tar xvfz postgis-cvs.tar.gz
make
make install


(a) yes, you must install your pgsql from source (b) version 7.4 is not 
yet supported (c) first installing proj and geos is nice, because then 
you get that nice functionality (d) first make/install your pgsql, then 
make/install your postgis (e) yes, the cvs versions are safe
