[postgis-users] windows binaries for rc1 avaialble -- should fix people's issues

[Paragon Corporation]

All we have windows binaries rc1 up.
 
John,
 
You were right about the xml.  We neglected to package this dll in the
postgis 2.0.0 experimental builds thinking that EDB builds already had them.
Theirs has a different name though.
 
So I think all people who were installing with on an instance that had
postgis 1.5. didn't notice it because we distributed that dll with the
postgis 1.5s. 
 
We didn't notice the issues until trying ot install on a virgin windows xp
install.  Anyrate the rc1s up should work fine for everythong

For people who had issues before, please let us know if you still have
issues with the rc1 builds.
 
Looks like there will be an Rc2 since we've already got fixes up and
tickets.  We;d like as many people testing so we can have a good RC2.
 
Thanks,
Regina

I had that problem once.  It was related to a missing (or outdated)
libxml2-2.dll in the /bin folder.  I would stop the postgres service and try
manually recopying all of the files to their appropriate locations.

Dear list,
we are trying to install the latest available experimental binaries for
windows
(postgis-pg91-binaries-2.0.0beta4w32).
We installed postgres 9.1 (32bit) and than run the installer file
'makepostgisdb_using_extensions.bat' with the proper (hopefully) set.
We get this error:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\psql"  -d "sam" -c "CREATE
EXTENSION
postgis;"
ERROR:  could not load library "C:/Program Files
(x86)/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll": The specified module could not be
found.

We are installing on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit and we have installed
postgresql-9.1.3-1-windows.exe (32-bit)

The file 'makepostgisdb_using_extensions.bat' look like this:
REM this is an example of how to create a new db and spatially enable it
using
CREATE EXTENSION
set PGPORT=5432
set PGHOST=localhost
set PGUSER=postgres
set PGPASSWORD=***
set THEDB=sam
REM PGINSTALL=C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1
set PGINSTALL=C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.1
set PGADMIN=%PGINSTALL%\pgAdmin III
set PGBIN=%PGINSTALL%\bin\
set PGLIB=%PGINSTALL%\lib\
set POSTGISVER=2.0
xcopy bin\*.* "%PGBIN%"
xcopy /I /S bin\postgisgui\* "%PGBIN%\postgisgui"
xcopy /I plugins.d "%PGADMIN%\plugins.d"
xcopy lib\*.* "%PGLIB%"
xcopy share\extension\*.* "%PGINSTALL%\share\extension"
xcopy /I share\contrib\postgis-%POSTGISVER%
"%PGINSTALL%\share\contrib\postgis-%POSTGISVER%"
"%PGBIN%\psql"  -c "CREATE DATABASE %THEDB%"
"%PGBIN%\psql"  -d "%THEDB%" -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;"
"%PGBIN%\psql"  -d "%THEDB%" -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;"

REM Uncomment the below line if this is a template database
REM "%PGBIN%\psql" -d "%THEDB%" -c "UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate =
true
WHERE datname = '%THEDB%';GRANT ALL ON geometry_columns TO PUBLIC; GRANT ALL
ON
spatial_ref_sys TO PUBLIC"


"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll" is where it is
supposed to be.
Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot

Ferdinando
