[postgis-users] Resolved - Error from lwpostgis.sql re: GEOS

[Daniel Ricard]

Hello,
The error that I was getting when loading lwpostgis.sql stemmed from GEOS and 
PROJ4 being in non-conventional locations.

The quick fix was to symlink the GEOS and PROJ4 libraries from the postgreSQL 
lib directory (/usr/local/postgresql/lib/ in the following) to their 
non-conventional locations:

***********************************
> cd /usr/local/postgresql/lib/
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgeos* .
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/proj4/lib/libproj.* .
***********************************

Thanks for all your help.
Gracias a todos.
Obrigado a todos.

Dan
