[postgis-users] undefined symbol: errstart

[Paul Ramsey]

Google is almost, but not completely, unhelpful. There is *one* reference to 
your error, albeit in Polish. From what I can muddle through, the response is 
that there is a conflict between the 7.3 and 7.4 postgresql versions. 

So... does your fresh install of RedHat 9 have some postgresql rpms sitting on 
it still? 

rpm -qa | grep postgres

If there are any, remove them, so your from-source install can have the field 
clear to itself.
