[postgis-users] PostGIS 1.3.1 - how to get $libdir to notexpand and coveredby function

[Ashaar Khalid Sheikh]

Thanks for the help Mark,

I will give it another go, it might be something on my buildfarm that is causing it.

My bad, yes it is coveredby. If a user runs into this, is it acceptable if the user comments out this function? I did go through the OSX post but couldn't really figure out why it is happening to me.

Thanks,

Hi Ashaar,

The MODULE_FILENAME variable is using the LPATH variable from
configure.in, although it can be overriden by some environment variables
- you'll need to check configure.in for details, however for most
installations it correctly gets set to $libdir.

I'm not sure what you mean about covertby - do you mean coveredby? If
so, someone has also reported a similar problem with OS X, but we don't
yet have enough information to debug the problem.


Kind regards,

Mark.
