Hi Mark-
Thanks for responding to this issue. I was able to get around this
issue by modifying the lwpostgis.sql file and replacing the $libdir var
with the fully qualified path name to the shared object. I ran all of
the tests successfully. I guess this proves that the $libdir variable
isn't being set correctly with postgresql, even though PG_CONFIG reports
it to be set (note I stopped and restart the server a few times during
this process). I believe there is a function exported by postgresql db
that allows me to set this variable, but I haven't tried it. Anyway,
seems to be working now..
thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I've been googling around the web, and my problem appears to be
fairly common.. although I haven't seen a good explanation for it..
I've installed PG 8.3.1.. and postgis.
Looks like everything installs correctly.. when I run make check, I
get the (somewhat common) can't load share lib $libdir/
psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE: type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL: Creating a shell type definition.
psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: ERROR: could not access file
"$libdir/liblwgeom.so.1": No such file or directory
**NOTE: when I run ldconfig -v liblwgeom.so.1 shows up.. but the
original error was "$libdir/liblwgeom" not found.. I actually
modified lwpostgis.sql to use liblwgeom.so.1 What should it be ?
lwpostgis.sql was fine it its original form using $libdir (it get
substituted by PostgreSQL with the correct server library directory at
load time).
This error seems common enough that there would be a pretty simple
explanation for it.. how I can be sure that the libraries were
built correctly?
Kind of stumped right now.. not really clear what it's supposed to
be. ANY help would be appreciated.. thanks
If liblwgeom.so exists, this error normally means that liblwgeom can't
find one or more of its dependent libraries such as GEOS and/or
PROJ.4. Check your ld.so.conf to make sure it includes /usr/local/lib
if you built by hand, and then don't forget to restart the PostgreSQL
server so it can pick up the changes.
HTH,
Mark.
