Hi Nicklas, You're right it says "POSTGIS="1.4.2" GEOS="3.2.0-CAPI-1.6.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.1, 21 August 2008" USE_STATS".
The error I received when I tried to use Buffer, ST_Buffer, and _ST_Buffer was that the function did not exist and that it was a GEOS function. Originally when I installed PostGIS 1.5, I received an error during the install saying that it couldn't write to the 3.2 library and that I could Abort, Retry, Or Ignore. I have tried all of the options, and it left me without the GEOS functionality. I don't know how to do a proper upgrade on postgis or postgres at this point, so I took the option of removing the whole lot and starting again. Desperate times... I am reinstalling on the other computer and trying to reload my database dump at the moment.

I have only now realised that the buffer function is not available, despite being in the functions list. I checked the postgis_version() and the result was "1.4 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1". > >The last time I installed this at work the correct geos module etc were installed. I have looked around and I can't find anything to say how I can manually change this. I believe it should be looking at the corrrect library as I found in the bin folder the libgeos-3-2-0.dll, libgeos_c-1.dll, libproj.dll files, but I don't know anything about them or how they are being referenced, other thatn one says 3.2 on it. I have tried looking for a postgis_config file, but I don't think that is something available to windows users(?) > >Sorry for being so clueless, but I am worried as I have a deadline on friday and need to be able to use this functionality! > >many thanks, >Rebecca > _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
