[postgis-users] Problems installing on Linux

[Rémi Cura]

Hello,
I had trouble with geos.
Strangely, I had to turn postgres down, then make clean in geos, then build
and install, then clean postgis, then build and install, then restart
postgres.
I had error if not stopping my (local) server, and if not cleaning geos and
postgis before building

Cheers,

Rémi-C
