Hello - very novice user here. I am doing a neighborhood history mapping project and want to use a MapBox template. In order to do so I need to "have PostgreSQL installed & running with a PostGIS database setup within it."
I have an iMac model 8,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I have downloaded and installed PostgreSQL 9.1 - The install ran as per the example shown in the www.enterprisedb.com/resources-community/pginst-guide I did not install any of the StackBuilder options as offered at the end of the install. I downloaded PostGIS after installing the GEOS and PROJ4 frameworks as per the osm2pgsql installer instructions. I also downloaded and installed XCODE in order to get access to a c++ compiler. ./configure apparently requires extensions to enable pg_config, GEOS, PROJ, and GUI? ./configure --with-pgconfig=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin/pg_config --with-geosconfig=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Versions/3/unix/bin/geos-config seems to run correctly through pg_config and GEOS and generates the error "configure: error: could not find proj_api.h - you may need to specify the directory of a PROJ.4 installation using --with-projdir" The PostGIS install instructions say: --with-projdir=DIR Proj4 is a reprojection library required by PostGIS. Use this parameter (--with-projdir=/path/to/projdir) to manually specify a particular Proj4 installation directory that PostGIS will build against. I don't find any directory titled "projdir" and the file proj_api.h resides in the path /Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Versions/Current/Headers/ Can anyone help me with the appropriate form for the extra bit for the ./configure statement? Thanks Bob
