Yes I installed postgres from the RPM's. But it still might be useful to
know how to do it both ways, with the source (with redhat's directory
structure) and the rpms.

Thanks

Hello Jeremy,

Am I correct in assuming you installed PostgreSQL 7.4.1 from RPMs?

You can install PostGIS with an RPM installed PostgreSQL, but it takes a
little
ingenuity. If you installed PostgreSQL from source, then PostGIS is a snap.

E-mail back telling how PostgreSQL was installed and I'll help you out.
