[postgis-users] geos proj stats modules all=v.1

[Rebecca Cooper]

Hi Nicklas,

You're right it says "POSTGIS="1.4.2" GEOS="3.2.0-CAPI-1.6.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.1, 21 August 2008" USE_STATS".

The error I received when I tried to use Buffer, ST_Buffer, and _ST_Buffer was that the function did not exist and that it was a GEOS function.

Originally when I installed PostGIS 1.5, I received an error during the install saying that it couldn't write to the 3.2 library and that I could Abort, Retry, Or Ignore.  I have tried all of the options, and it left me without the GEOS functionality.  I don't know how to do a proper upgrade on postgis or postgres at this point, so I took the option of removing the whole lot and starting again.  Desperate times...

I am reinstalling on the other computer and trying to reload my database dump at the moment.

Rebecca

Hallo
	
 
	
 
	
I get the same answer for postgis_version()
	
I just tells that postgis is compiled with geos and proj
	
 
	
try postgis_full_version instead, what do you get then?

I have only now realised that the buffer function is not available, despite being in the functions list.  I checked the postgis_version() and the result was "1.4 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1".

I believe it should be looking at the corrrect library as I found in the bin folder the  libgeos-3-2-0.dll, libgeos_c-1.dll, libproj.dll files, but I don't know anything about them or how they are being referenced, other thatn one says 3.2 on it.  I have tried looking for a postgis_config file, but I don't think that is something available to windows users(?)
