[postgis-users] Problems finding PostgresQL on an FC4 installation

[Putler, Dan]

Hi All,

I'm having a heck of a time installing PostGIS 1.1.0 on an FC4 system  
(with a P3 processor) that is running Postgresql 8.1.1, GEOS 2.2.1,  
and Proj 4.4.9.

I installed Postgresql from source with /usr/local/pgsql as the  
installation directory. As a result, I configured PostGIS using the  
option --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql (I've also tried /usr/local and / 
usr/local/pgsql/bin as the postgres directories). Things seem to go  
along fine with configure since it finds geos, and proj, and doesn't  
complain about postgres. However, when I become root and attempt  
make, bad things happen. I created a transcript of the session, and  
here are the first few lines of the output of the make process, which  
might provide a clue to my problem:

make -C lwgeom

The three header files make can't find are part of postgres, so my  
guess is make still can't find postgres. I've played with  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH without any luck (which isn't surprising since it  
doesn't point to the header directories). Any ideas about what I'm  
not doing to make postgres visible?
