[postgis-users] Cannot compile postgis on Fedora Core 4

[M. Fioretti]

Greetings,

I have a Fedora Core 4 system with PostgreSQL installed via rpm:

# rpm -q postgresql
postgresql-8.0.3-1

I have dowloaded postgis from the website. To follow the build
instructions (cd in "contrib" of postgresql source tree etc..)
I have also installed the postgresql source rpm for fedora core 4, and
then executed the postgis instruction from the contrib directory that
is created. However, the build still fails:


##################################################################
I have set PGSQL_SRC to
/home/marco/RPM_FOUNDRY/SOURCES/postgresql-8.0.3/postgresql-8.0.3

in Makefile.config

and I get:

[marco at polaris postgis-1.0.3]$ pwd
/home/marco/RPM_FOUNDRY/SOURCES/postgresql-8.0.3/postgresql-8.0.3/contrib/postgis-1.0.3

I *have* seen in the postgis archive a similar message to this one,
but it doesn't seem to be the same problem I have. Any pointer?

TIA,
	Marco
