[postgis-users] Problem installing postgis 1.0.0 - libgeos.so.2: cannot open shared object file

[Marco Lechner]

Hi List,

I have problem after installing postgis 1.0.0:
- I installed the actual version of geos (V 2.1.1 - stable)
- After that I set LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ and compiled
postgresql --with-perl --with-openssl and installed it succesfully
- then I cpied the unzipped postgis-dir in the postgresql-contrib-folder of
my postgresql-source
- I modified Makefile.config (PROJ=1 GEOS=1)
- I compiled postgis (make install)
- I created a testdb (named postgis)
- I did a createlang plpgsql postgis
 everything works so far

but when I try:

postgres at maas:/usr/local/pgsql> bin/psql -f share/contrib/lwpostgis.sql -d
postgis
Password:

.......

it doesn't add the postgis-functions to my database
 What's wrong ??

I also added /usr/locyl/pgsql/lib to my /etc/ld.so.conf and did a
/sbin/ldconfig
still got the same problem
