Hi Tim,

Thanks for the heads-up; while there is no reference to the root user in
the documentation at http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch02.html, it
does actually mention running ./configure as root in the README.postgis
file. Anybody have any objections to removing this reference?


Kind regards,

Mark.
