[postgis-users] postgis install problems

[Dowling, James Parker]

Mark,

I've found the SVN Trunk and will try that.  Where do you find PROJ 4.4.9 ?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Newer versions of PostGIS require a minimum of PROJ 4.4.9 to cope with
an extra path setting for Windows clients. Unfortunately the 1.3 series
build system is not clever enough to detect this, however the relevant
changes have been made in SVN trunk.


HTH,

Mark.
