[postgis-users] Error in building postgis 1.3.5 from source

[Obe, Regina]

Don,

Did you do a

make install

before you did the 

make check

I think the docs were confusing in that regard, but I thought we fixed that.

The error you have below sounds like you probably compiled fine, but didn't install the binary.

Hi,

./configure was clean, but
in the make step of building postgis 1.3.5 from source, I am getting the
following error:
Creating spatial db postgis_reg
createlang: language "plpgsql" is already installed in database
"postgis_reg"
ERROR:  function postgis_lib_version() does not exist
LINE 1: select postgis_lib_version()
               ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need
to add explicit type casts.

 Something went wrong (no postgis installed in postgis_reg).
 For details, check /tmp/pgis_reg_20814/regress_log

This log shows the following error and then a bazillion "Current transaction
aborted...: messages.


BEGIN
psql:lwpostgis.sql:59: NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
psql:lwpostgis.sql:59: ERROR:  could not access file "$libdir/liblwgeom": No
such file or directory

I am running postgresql version 8.3.3 .

Any clues?

Thank you.

Don
