[NCLUG] PostGIS-0.7.5 with Postgres-7-2-4 and PROJ4 install notes.

[Erich]

For the record.

6/13/2003: PostGIS-0.7.5 from tar.gz<br>
Note: The install instructions in the README leave out some
critical issues.<br>
To install:<br>
1. run tar -zxvf wit hthe .tar.gz file in the
/usr/local/postgres-<version number>/contrib directory.<br>
2. edit the makefile and change the PROJ4 SUPPORT variable
to 1.<br>
3. mv Proj-<version number> to a dir called
/usr/local/proj4 (might not be nesessary).<br>
4. make
5. make install

HERE IS THE TRICK:

6. create enviroment variable libdir (%
libdir=/usr/local/pgsql/lib).<br>
-- This is where the libpostgis.so.0.7 lives.  The
postgis.sql test file calls this path with every create
command).<br>

7. create a sym link in the $libdir to
/usr/local/lib/libpostgis.so.0.7<br>

8. follw the instructions in readme to test your
database.<br>
