[postgis-users] error with a $libdir variable defined inpostgis.sql

[Paragon Corporation]

Victor,

What version of PostgreSQL are you running.

The $libdir is a variable built into PostgreSQL that points at the location
of the lib file.  I don't think your problem is with that given your earlier
message.

The earlier message results either if the postgis-2.0.dll wasn't copied to
the right place (the lib folder of your PostgreSQL install)
or one of its dependencies wasn't copied.

Our guess is you missed copying in the latest version of GEOS from the zip
file we provided.

If you for example had another PostGIS install on your PostgreSQL -- there
would already exist a geos_c.dll file, but it would be pointing to GEOS
3.2.2 or whatever other GEOS you had.

When the batch script runs, there is a message that says something to the
effect -- file exists -- overwrite yes/no/all?

If you said No -- then you need to manually copy the GEOS files.  Everything
else is the same (with the additon of libgdal) from the prior versions of
PostGIS, but the PostGIS 2.0 will refuse to run if the geos_c.dll is from a
GEOS older than GEOS 3.3.0.

It is also possible we left out including a dependency.  If the above
doesn't work, use dependency walker  to see what its complaining about as
missing.

thanks Andrea for replying. those environment variables where effectively
set. but i still get the error because $libdir wasn't set anywhere. is it an
internal variable for postgresql?
