If you want to install postgresql and postgis to the latest, don't yum
install them ... download and install them both from source.
1) download and install postgresql
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/install-short.html
2) download and install the latest geos
http://geos.refractions.net/
3) download and install proj.4
http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/
4) change to contrib directory in your source tree of postgresql and
install postgis
http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch02.html
You may have to specify the location of pg_config location with
--with-pgsql when installing postgis (perhaps as well as the --with-geos
and --with-proj options as well).
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi All
Hope this is not a blond moment, But I cannot get postgis 1.2.1
installed on my Centos 5. Postgresql is running and I can connect to
the database. I have downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted it. When
running./configure all goes well until I get and error that PostgreSQL
is needed.
Any help will be appreciated.
I also wan to upgrade both postgresql and postgis to the latest, but
yum is not detecting the latest versions. I downloaded the tar.gz
files but this does not upgrade the previous PostgreSQL version when
installing it.
Please help
Andre
