I seem to be having problems loading the Postgis library on a RHEL 5 box PostgreSQL 8.3.1. I'm getting this error
ERROR: could not load library "/usr/lib/pgsql/liblwgeom.so": /usr/lib/pgsql/liblwgeom.so: undefined symbol: GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT postgis_lib_version()" PL/pgSQL function "postgis_full_version" line 11 at SQL statement When I run select postgis_full_version() (or any postgis function for that matter) Not quite sure what I am doing wrong. First issue - I decided to try out the new Yum repository for Postgresql and it puts everything in a different location from what I'm used to so that may be part of the problem. After yum install I had Postgis 1.3.2 with 8.3 has that awful aggregate bug that crashes the server) and it had Geos 2.3 CAPI (or whatever that was). So to get around that, I decided to compile Postgis and Geos 3.0.0 from scratch Here were my basic steps 1. Download yum config from http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/8.3/pgdg-redhat-8.3-2.noarch.rpm 2. rpm -ivh pgdg-redhat-8.3-2.noarch.rpm 3. yum install postgresql 4. yum install postgis 5. yum install postgresql-devel --After configuring Postgresql - I did wget http://geos.refractions.net/downloads/geos-3.0.0.tar.bz2 bunzip2 -c geos-3.0.0.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - cd geos-3.0.0 ./configure make clean make make install wget http://postgis.refractions.net/postgis-svn.tar.gz tar xvfz postgis-svn.tar.gz cd postgis-svn ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/bin/pg_config make clean make make install All seemed to go fine until I queried and got that error above. Any thoughts on the issue would be helpful.
