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

[Jaime Carrera]

Hi,

I had the same problem and solved it by installing
postgresql FROM source (i.e. compiling it). 
I had this problem in Red Hat 9 and when I upgraded to
fedora, decided to compile postgres from source
instead of downloading the rpms.
