Err... yes you can ;)

As I pointed out in my earlier email, your pg_config is being picked up
from:

/data/ulysse/postgis_geos/postgresql-8.2.4/bin/pg_config --libdir

So the version of PostgreSQL being used has been installed
under /data/ulysse/postgis_geos/postgresql-8.2.4 - if you want to
override this then you need to re-run configure with the --with-pgsql
option pointing to the correct pg_config for the installation you want
to use.


Kind regards,

Mark.
