[postgis-users] Unable to build WKT Raster

[Paragon Corporation]

Mateusz,
We should probably update the docs here accordingly

http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/WKTRaster/Documentation01

This user doc way at the bottom says it works with 1.3.5 or higher and even
points at the 1.3 docs for compilation. 

Thanks,
Regina

The WKT Raster README file available from
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/spike/wktraster/README
says

"latest 1.3.5 release won't work"

It will not work. Please, use PostGIS 1.4.0 or recent source code from trunk
in SVN repository

If you want to build PostGIS, you need to compile and install PostGIS only,
no need to compile PostgreSQL.
