Hi Benedetto,

Looking at the current CVS of PostGIS shows that postgis_transform.c
recently has been changed to use the function pj_get_release() that was
only introduced with version 4.4.8 of PROJ.4. Therefore if you upgrade
to PROJ.4.4.8, then you should find that you can build and use the
current CVS version of PostGIS successfully.

strk, can we detect the version of PROJ.4 by checking PJ_VERSION in
/include/proj_api.h and only include the call to pj_get_release() if we
are >= 448?


Kind regards,

Mark.
