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

[Mike Leahy]

Dan,

When I did this, I had set the pgsql parameter to point to 'pg_config', 
and this has usually been the requirement for most PostgreSQL-based 
builds that I done so far.  If you run './configure --help', you should 
see this is mentioned in the info listed there.  Below is the 
configuration I used (my pgsql is installed in /usr by the released RPMs 
for FC4), and I had no problems with the build.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-pgsql=/usr/bin/pg_config 
--with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-proj=/usr/local

Hope this helps,
Mike
