[postgis-users] postgis libraries not found

[tlange at gwdg.de]

Hello,

I installed geos-3.0.3, proj-4.6.1, and postgis-1.3.5 on CentOS 5.2.
Postgresql-Version is 8.1 (which comes with CentOS).
Loading the lwpostgis.sql file gives a lot of errors. So I tried to create
the first function in lwpostgis.sql by hand. I hope the translation from
the german output is ok.

test=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION histogram2d_in(cstring)
test-# RETURNS histogram2d
test-# AS '/usr/lib/pgsql/liblwgeom', 'lwhistogram2d_in'
test-# LANGUAGE 'C' IMMUTABLE STRICT; -- WITH (isstrict);
HINWEIS:  Typ »histogram2d« ist noch nicht definiert
DETAIL:  Erzeuge eine Hüllentypdefinition.
FEHLER:  konnte Bibliothek »/usr/lib/pgsql/liblwgeom.so« nicht laden:
libgeos_c.so.1: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Fehler = Error: could not load library: »/usr/lib/pgsql/liblwgeom.so«:
libgeos_c.so.1: cannot open shared object file: File or directory not
found.

However, /usr/lib/pgsql/liblwgeom.so exists and libgeos_c.so.1 is in
/usr/local/lib. Postgis configure script has found the paths for geos and
proj.


Any ideas how to fix this?

Thank you!
Torsten
