[postgis-users] Postgis issue installing under win64 with Postgres 9.5.2

[Regina Obe]

This is 2012 not 2012R2?  I don't think I have a 2012 only to test on but haven't had an issue with 2012r2 or windows 2008 variants.

 

That said, I haven't upgraded to 9.5.2 yet (still 9.5.1) though that shouldn't matter.  I'll double check to make sure.

 

The general culprit for this is the libxml2-2.dll

 

For whatever reason you are using a PostgreSQL 32-bit and trying to use 64-bit PostGIS binaries or you are using PostgreSQL 64-bit and using PostGIS 32-bit binaries

 

Reinstalling won't fix this since it won't replace files libxml2-2.dll if it see it already there snce sometimes EDB distributes it and sometimes they don't.  So you'd have to explicitly overwrite those.

You can do so just copying libxml2.dll to libxml2-2.dll

 

I would suggest giving that a try first.

 

Hope that helps,

Regina

I had exactly the same problem with a 9.3 PostgreSQL for windows x64.

I'm trying to install postgis on a windows machine running windows server 2012 64 bit. This is a fresh install using the 9.5.2 release from EnterpriseDB and the 64 bit installer from download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg95/ <http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg95/> .

I receive this error when running CREATE EXTENSION:

ERROR:  could not load library "S:/PostgreSQL/9.5/lib/rtpostgis-2.2.dll": The specified procedure could not be found.

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire binary system and using the latest winnie build from winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg95/buildbot/postgis-pg95-binaries-2.2.2w64gcc48.zip <http://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg95/buildbot/postgis-pg95-binaries-2.2.2w64gcc48.zip>  which has the same results.

Just creating a function from rtpostgis-2.2.dll results in the same problem:


db# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION postgis_raster_lib_version()
    RETURNS text AS '$libdir/rtpostgis-2.2', 'RASTER_lib_version'
    LANGUAGE 'c' IMMUTABLE; 
ERROR:  could not load library "S:/PostgreSQL/9.5/lib/rtpostgis-2.2.dll": The specified procedure could not be found.

I've verified the file is there and that the symbol RASTER_lib_version exists inside. Dependency walker shows no obvious problems although I am not an expert at using it.

# select version();
                           version
-------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 9.5.2, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit

Is it possible this is a new issue introduced with PG 9.5.2?

 

Thanks!
