[postgis-users] compiling-problem under linux

["R. Müller"]

hallo Uwe,

you have to run the ./configure skript from sources of your postgres
installation. this skript creates the missing file 'makefile.global' .
if you have only a binary-installation of postgres, then download the
sources and run configure manually.
in the makefile.config of postgis you have to point to root path of your
postgres-source dir.
