[postgis-users] Make Check Error - Where is libgeos_c.so.1?

[Doug_Newcomb at fws.gov]

Bill,
      My general proceedure on fedora core systems has been to :

      1) ./configure, build, and install  proj
      2) add /usr/local/lib to one of the files under /etc/ld.so.conf.d
      3)  run ldconfig -v ( this may involve briefly disabling selinux
during this part)
      4) ./configure, build, and install geos
      5) run ldconfig -v
      6) ./configure, build , and install postgresql
      7)  add /usr/local/pgsql/lib to one of the files under
/etc/ld.so.conf.d
      8) run ldconfig -v
      9) ./configure, build, and install postgis

      I have not tried it yet on a Fedora Core 5 system, I will give it a
shot and see what issues I run into.

Installed from source the latest PostgreSQL, Proj4, GEOS and PostGIS on
Fedora Core 5, and am now installing PostGIS and getting stuck with the
Make
Check step prior to Make Install. I'm running this as 'postgres' and
getting this output:

CREATE DATABASE
BEGIN
psql:lwpostgis.sql:39: NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
psql:lwpostgis.sql:39: ERROR:  could not load library
    "/home/postgres/postgis-1.1.3/lwgeom/liblwgeom.so.1.1": libgeos_c.so.1:
    cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands
    ignored until end of transaction block
psql:lwpostgis.sql:52: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands
    ignored until end of transaction block
... and so on


I don't see libgeos_c.so.1 anywhere, and I'm not sure how it's created but
I did the ./configure, make and make install for the GEOS package and I
didn't see any errors from that step.

Also when I run PostGIS's Make Check it keeps asking for postgres' password
again and again. Is there some way I can specify this once and not have it
keep asking me for it?

Any help would be appreciated!
