[postgis-users] PostGIS Install Failure: make check, lwpostgis.sql, ... errors

[Stefan Oberhauser]

Mark,

thank you for the answer.
I ugraded GEOS to version 2.2.3. Now without error messages I rebuilt
PostGIS once again.

But
psql -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.1/contrib/postgis-1.2.1/lwpostgis.sql -d
mytestdb still fails as before:
....
psql:/usr/share/postgresql/8.1/contrib/postgis-1.2.1/lwpostgis.sql:4378:
ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of
transaction block.
ROLLBACK

On another PC with Ubuntu 6.10 I had no problems - with higher versions
available in the repository. So I decided to make an upgrade to Ubuntu
6.10 also and not to struggle with old versions.

Thanks and kind regards,

Stefan.
