[postgis-users] Problems installing on Linux

[Wilkins, Brian]

I am coming in a little late, but when I did an upgrade, I had to run my dump through one of the postgis update scripts in the contrib directory. Did you do that?

Hi Mike/Remy/all,

Thanks for your help. I'm making progress. Please see below. My install is now using geos-3.3.8. Or seems to be.

ldd /usr/pgsql-9.0/lib/postgis-2.0.so

        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff735fc000)
        libgeos_c.so.1 => /opt/Geos/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 (0x00002b4411d4d000)
        libproj.so.0 => /opt/Proj/lib/libproj.so.0 (0x00002b4411f74000)
        libjson.so.0 => /opt/json/lib/libjson.so.0 (0x00002b44121ca000)
        libxml2.so.2 => /opt/LibXml/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x00002b44123cb000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00002b441270e000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002b4412922000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b4412ba5000)
        libgeos-3.3.8.so => /opt/Geos/lib/libgeos-3.3.8.so
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002b44132ab000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002b44135ab000)
        libjson-c.so.2 => /opt/json/lib/libjson-c.so.2 (0x00002b44137ba000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b44139c3000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003f53000000)

The following commands now seem to work:

psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis_comments.sql psql -d yourdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql

And when I go into my database and do SELECT postgis_full_version I get the following:

POSTGIS="2.0.4SVN r11660" GEOS="3.3.8-CAPI-1.7.8" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.1, 21 August 2008" LIBXML="2.7.6" LIBJSON="UNKNOWN" TOPOLOGY

However it says that Topology and Raster support are not present. So I thought that I could now run the following commands to install those
too:

psql -d yourdatabase -f rtpostgis.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f raster_comments.sql psql -d yourdatabase -f topology/topology.sql psql -d yourdatabase -f doc/topology_comments.sql

However when I run them I get an error. The first line is:

psql:/usr/pgsql-9.0/share/contrib/postgis-2.0/rtpostgis.sql:48: ERROR:
 could not load library "/usr/pgsql-9.0/lib/rtpostgis-2.0.so":
libgeos-3.2.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea why there is still mention of libgeos-3.2.0  ?  I thought I'd sorted that out now?

Thanks

James
