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

[Alexander Von Luenen]

Thanks Mark,

that was one issue. However, I discovered that the actual problems arose from 32 and 64 bit binaries and libs being mixed up. The PostgreSQL installation from CSW had the 64 bit files. The Proj4 from CSW, however, only had the 32bit versions of things. Thus, I had to compile both GEOS and Proj4 from source. I had to fiddle around with LDFLAGS settings etc. to make gcc pick up the 64bit shared system libraries. When compiling PostGIS, the Makefile in the lwgeom subdirectory still wouldn't pick up the -m64 flag, so I added it manually. Everything was fine then. :-)

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

As you have quite rightly determined, if the file is present then this 
error normally indicates that one of the dependent libraries is missing. 
  Note that you need to make sure that all of the dependent libraries 
are visible by the user that runs the PostgreSQL server; setting 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a console and using ldd will not make the libraries 
visible to you but not to the database server.


HTH,

Mark.
