[postgis-users] -- configure: error: PostgreSQL is required by PostGIS Installing PostGIS --

[Rafael Orta]

Hello Everybody
   
  I installed PostgreSQL 8.1 on Red Hat Ent 4.0 and it seems to be working fine. I am proceding to install Postgis 1.1.3 from the .gz file following the instructions in the manual.
   
  It says to uncompress and copy the posgis software on the [postgresql source tree]/contrib. To be honest I am not sure what is this directory, I installed from .rpm files , however I did a find on my disk looking for the contrib directory and found /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib , so I assume that this is
  the directory the installation manual refers to.
   
  When I try to do the make file I get
   
  [root at spatial postgis-1.1.3]# cp Makefile.config.in Makefile.config
[root at spatial postgis-1.1.3]# make

configure: error: PostgreSQL is required by PostGIS
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
   
  Any idea what could be wrong?
   
  I couldn't install the postgress wxGTK-devel-2.6.3-2.6.3.2.1.i686.rpm because 
  of the error below and did not know where to get gtk2-devel-2.4.13-12.i386.rpm
netiher if it is neccesary.
   
  [root at spatial PgadminIII]# rpm -ihv wxGTK-devel-2.6.3-2.6.3.2.1.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        gtk2-devel is needed by wxGTK-devel-2.6.3-2.6.3.2.1.i686
    Suggested resolutions:
        gtk2-devel-2.4.13-12.i386.rpm

  Thanks in advance
