[postgis-users] Further PostGIS / GEOS problems

[Nick Black]

Hello,

Thanks to some help from this list and #postgis, I have diagnosed the
problem with GEOS that I described earlier.

So now I am trying to compile postgis, with this configure option:

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

Which give this error:

 HOST_OS: linux-gnu

    GEOS: /usr/bin/geos-config
          (ldflags: )
    PROJ: prefix=/usr libdir=/usr/lib

 -------------------------------------------------------

Seems that configure cant find g++ etc - which seems strange, as I can
compile other sources without problems.

I am running Ubuntu 6.06,  psql 8.1.4

Thanks again,
