[postgis-users] PostGIS 2.0 on CentOS 5

[Gold, Jack L (US SSA)]

You'll need gcc-g++ among a few other things.  If you want pgAdminIII to work, it gets trickier since you have to have postgresql-9.1.

Easy solution is to get the 9.1 postgres from the PGDG repo at their site.

Once you have that, you'll need to build swig-1.3.29(used for gdal java libs, I believe), proj.4-4.8, geos-3.3.2, and gdal-1.9.0.

1.  yum install swig (That should get you the latest and greatest swig build).
2. Build Proj.4
	a. get proj-4.8.0.tar.gz
	b. tar -xvf proj-4.8.0.tar.gz
	c. cd proj-4.8.0
	d. ./configure --without-jni
	e. make; make install
3. Build Geos
	a. get geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2
	b. tar -xvf geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2
	c. cd geos-3.3.2
	d. ./configure --enable-python
	e. make;make install
4. Build GDal
	a. get gdal-1.9.0.tar.gz
	b. tar -xvf gdal-1.9.0.tar.gz
	c. cd gdal-1.9.0
	d. make; make install
	e. chmod 755 tools/geos-config
5. Build PostGIS-2.0
	a. get the postgis-2.0 version you want
	b. tar -xvf postgis-2.0.tar.gz  (or whatever version you're using)
	c. ./configure --with-raster --with-pgconfig=/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config  --with-geosconfig=<path to geos extracted directory>/tools/geos-config
	d. make; make install 


You might need to tweak which configuration parameters you are using for your build, but this is how I built it.  Note, the CentOS version of pgAdminIII will not work with postgresql-9.1, so you'll need to build it yourself.  The easiest way to do this is to hook up with the rpmforge yum repo and try to install it.  Otherwise, building pgAdminIII requires a bit of playing with as well.

It's not hard to build for CentOS 5.  That's where I'm running it, but I don't use the RPMs.

Compile for building RPMs? If you expect it from me (as the packager), no, I'm not doing it :-) OTOH, I have no idea how hard it is.

That said, RHEL 5 is 5 years old. Time to upgrade.
