[postgis-users] installation (last step) problems

[Marie-Lise VAUTIER]

Hello,

I know that it is a very current problem, but I have a problem with the last
step of the installation of postgis, that is to say, when I enter spql -d mydb
-f postgis.sql.
I have installed geos and proj4, because I already had problems without them.
geos has been installed with the default ./configure and proj4 with ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/proj4.

I get the following error message:



[postgres at localhost postgres]$ psql -d mydb -f
/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis.sql
BEGIN
        message
------------------------
 PL/PgSQL is installed.

libgeos.so.1 is in /usr/local/lib.

I have not "linked postgresql against the standard c++ library", as described in
the documentation, because I don't know exactly where to write this line. Is it
the reason why it doesn't work?

Thank you for your help, Marie-Lise.
