[postgis-users] postgis socket name problem

[Vincent De Groote]

Hello,

I'm installing postgresql 8.4.8 and postgis 1.5.2 on an ubuntu computer.
Everything is installed in a subdirectory of my home directory, using my
standard user id (I'm not using a postgres user id)

for postgresql, geos and proj, the configure / make / make check / make
install worked without problem
for postgis, the configure / make worked.

The make check target fails because the pgsql2shp program tries to
connect to the database using a unix socket named
'/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432', but the server uses a socket named
'/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'.

I cannot find where the socket name used by pgsql2shp comes
from.  /var/run/postgresql was never used as a parameter of configure
files:  all configure scripts were run with --prefix=<subdir of my home
dir>

Any idea ?

Thanks for your reply
