Hi Reid,
I should have clarified. We are using the system Postgres and installing
PostGIS and GEOS ourselves. In the past (1.3.5), we just compiled
PostGIS with --prefix, --with-geos, and --with-pgsql* and it worked
great, just like any other GNU-style "configure" software. Now... ????
(As an aside, it was also very frustrating that --prefix was silently
ignored instead of failing at configure time with a coherent error
message. We spent over an hour tracking that down.)
Thanks for the extra information.
We're on Ubuntu Hardy.
* --with-pgsql was needed because we are on Postgres 8.2 but some of the
8.3 stuff is also installed because of unrelated dependencies. But in
1.4, install wants to put stuff in the 8.3 directories even though
configure apparently found 8.2 with --with-pgconfig. So I don't see how
we can install 1.4 even if we did have root.
This sounds like the real problem here. I believe there is a bug in
PostgreSQL 8.2's PGXS Makefile which means that it can pick the wrong
pg_config if you have multiple versions in PATH. The quick fix is to
temporarily override PATH when running "make" on PostGIS so that the
directory containing the pg_config you really want to use is listed
first like this:
PATH=/path/to/8.2/install:$PATH make install
HTH,
Mark.
