[postgis-users] Installing PostGIS on Suse

[Ralf]

Hello List! I'm new in processing spatial data, but according to all the free tools around I am really excited to get into that stuff (Wow!, there is OpenStreetMap.org, too!!) I have a prob building postgis on suse. My system is a postgres/postgis virgin. The installation of postgreSQL, Geos, und proj went well. Now I'm trying to install postgis, but the gcc seems to have problems while using the "-lproj" option:

The following output comes from running configure:

Searching the web said adjusting the path within Makefile.config to the Proj lib directory; but I think these dir's are correct!?:
> USE_PROJ=1
> PROJ_DIR=/usr
> PROJ_LIBDIR=/usr/lib


Eeeehhmmm ... HELP!?!? Thanks a lot!
