[postgis-users] more centos install troubles

[Steve henshaw]

Hi Paul,

I was wondering if you were installing from the Centos repos?  I run 
centos 5.3 with postgis myself and found it much easier using the 
postgresql yum repo, details here:
http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/

than using the centos repos which are also a bit out of date.

Hope that helps,
Steve
