[postgis-users] ERROR: could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/postgis-1.5.so

[Kai Behncke]

Hi Paul,

first of all thank you very much.


I did: ldd /usr/local/pgsql/lib/postgis-1.5.so

..and I get:

 linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libgeos_c.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 (0xb7ea6000)
        libproj.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0 (0xb7e73000)
        libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0xb7d59000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7c28000)
        libgeos.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgeos.so.2 (0xb7b27000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7a42000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7a1c000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7a11000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7a0d000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb79f9000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)



...but what does that mean?

In this case it`s no problem, because all the databases I need should have postgis-support.

Best regards, Kai
