[postgis-users] problem enabling GEOS support on freebsd 4

[theo burry]

Hi,

I am working with postgis on freebsd 4, postgres 7.4.

I'd like to be able to use some of the functions that require GEOS.  I installed postgis-1.1.3 from the freebsd ports using pkg_add.  For certain functions I get the error 

ERROR:  boundary:: operation not implemented - compile PostGIS with JTS or GEOS support

When I try to build postgis-1.1.5 from source, I get the following error:

gcc -DUSE_VERSION=74 -DPOSTGIS_LIB_VERSION='"1.1.5"' -DPOSTGIS_VERSION='"1.1 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1"' -DPOSTGIS_SCRIPTS_VERSION='"1.1.5"' -DPOSTGIS_BUILD_DATE='"2006-10-17 19:18:24"' -I/usr/local/include -DUSE_PROJ  -I/usr/local/include/postgresql/server -DAUTOCACHE_BBOX=1  -DUSE_STATS -Wall -g -O2 -fPIC -fexceptions -DUSE_GEOS -I/usr/local/include     -c -o lwgeom_gist.o lwgeom_gist.c

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/packages/All/postgis1.5/postgis-1.1.5/lwgeom'
gmake: *** [liblwgeom] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Can anyone clarify the best way for me to get postgis installed with the GEOS support needed for the geo functions?  Do I in fact need to build from source, or can I enable this after adding the freebsd package?

Thanks,
Theo
