Hello everyone, Having difficulty installing postgis on a machine with OpenSuSE 10.3. I installed from source (no rpm available) and followed the build instructions, then issued the createdb/createlang commands as detailed on the OSM wiki (Mapnik page).
Firstly there was a slight problem with the PostGIS make install instructions. It said to do it as postgres, but I got permission errors and temporarily had to change ownership of /usr/lib and /usr/bin to postgres to get that to work. Now however I have a problem with running osm2pgsql. It seems postgresql cannot locate the PostGIS functions - even though the PostGIS shared library is in the /usr/lib/postgresql directory (standard postgresql lib directory). I get the error "SELECT AddGeometryColumn(....) No function matches the given name and argument types" Then I found on the postgis documentation I had to do this as well: psql -d [yourdatabase] -f lwpostgis.sql However this fails with could not find function "coveredby" in /usr/lib/postgresql/liblwgeom.so Any ideas on this?
