[postgis-users] Postgis installation on sles 11 sp1

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Steve,

I recently (3 weeks ago) updated the postgis package for SLES 11 on
Application:Geo to version 1.5.3. They built without any problems on SLES
11 and I think (didn't test), that they also work with the standard
postgresql packages provided with SLES 11, but that's not version 9.1.2.

Have you tried to use the standard postgres from SLES 11? I think it is
8.1.x?

Regards
Otto
