[postgis-users] GEOS install help for Solaris 9

[Matthew Perry]

Hello,

  We are trying to run postgis on Solaris 9.
Everything is ok except for the GEOS functions.
For example, check out the following output from
psql...
--------------------------

test=# select intersection('POINT(1 1)', 'POINT(1
1)');
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated
abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting
reset: Failed.
!> select * from pg_tables;
You are currently not connected to a database.
!> 

The logfile provides the following:
----------------------------------

LOG:  server process (PID 19666) was terminated by
signal 11
LOG:  terminating any other active server processes
LOG:  all server processes terminated; reinitializing
LOG:  database system was interrupted at 2004-08-05
13:55:59 PDT
LOG:  checkpoint record is at 0/C75FA8
LOG:  redo record is at 0/C75FA8; undo record is at
0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG:  next transaction ID: 558; next OID: 27382
LOG:  database system was not properly shut down;
automatic recovery in progress
FATAL:  the database system is starting up
LOG:  invalid magic number 0000 in log file 0, segment
0, offset 13066240
LOG:  redo is not required
LOG:  database system is ready

------------------------------

So is it reasonable to assume that GEOS was not
installed properly? How would I test this? I noticed a
little app that comes with GEOS called
"SimpleWKTTester" but can't make it do anything, nor
can I find any documentation on it. 

Any ideas? Anyone have any experience with this
problem on Solaris before?

Thanks for the input,
