first i installed postgresql 7.4.3 from source. just
the basic ./configure, gmake, then gmake install. so
it was all installed in /usr/local/pgsql. then i
created postgres.sh inside /etc/profile.d/.
when i was about to untar the postgis package, i just
found out that there is no contrib folder in my
postgres source tree. so i just created one i.e.
/usr/local/pgsql/contrib. and extracted the postgis
package there. when i then run make, this happens:
Makefile:38: ../../src/Makefile.global: No such file
or directory
Makefile:160: /src/Makefile.shlib: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target
`/src/Makefile.shlib'. Stop.
so where did i go wrong?
thanx!
