[postgis-users] Problems compiling PostGIS on Solaris 2.10/SparcV9

[Alexander Von Luenen]

Indeed. One can really google too much, can't you? ;-)
Using '--with-pgsql' does the trick. Thanks a lot!

Hi Alex,

It looks as if you've picked up the new SVN documentation instead - the 
options for PostGIS 1.4 have been changed to make them easier to 
understand. The option you need to pass to configure for the 1.3 series 
is --with-pgsql=/path/to/pg_config.


HTH,

Mark.
