[postgis-users] "ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory"

[Gissur Þórhallsson]

Hi there

pramsey solved this for me on irc:

I had installed and then removed postgresql 8.3 via apt previously - but
some of it was still hanging about, to wit:
[120310 16:52:30] <pramsey> the problem is you have a system pg_config in
/usr/bin, but I imagine the postgresql you are running is the one from
/usr/local/pgsql
[120310 16:53:04] <pramsey> export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH and the
reconfigure, rebuild, reinstall your postgis

This did the trick

Thanks anyway,
and kind regards from Iceland,
Gissur
