[GRASSLIST:8550] PostGIS and libs

Hi list,

I am using Lorenzo's binaries on MacOS X 10.4.2

Up until now I was nos not using Postgresql and PostGIS.

I compiled PostgreSQL from source and put it in /usr/local

Now I am trying to build postgis.

Despite me fiddling with the config and makefiles in PostGIS source in order to change the DIRs for GEOS and PROJ, I couldn't make it to compile.

So I am thinking of installing separate versions of GEOS and PROJ in /usr/local/ in order for PostGIS to find them.

My question is: Is Postgresql/PostGIS going to work ok with GRASS , despite being linked to different libs of GEOS and PROJ?

Thanks

Hello Costas,
I've been through this just last week - I compiled and installed PostgreSQL, proj4, and GEOS in their default locations, and configured postGIS according to directions (all on OSX 10.4.2). I've since used both GRASS (61cvs, Lorenzo's newest binaries (cheers to lorenzo!)) and QGIS to interact with a postGIS database, including shape manipulation and reprojection, without a hitch. Good luck with yours...

Thanks!

I thought so but one can never be too sure...
Of course, for obvious reasons, it is better if i could alter the config file of Postgis. I found all occurrences of "GEOS_DIR" and "PROJ_DIR" but the make still fails..

I will install it with libs in /usr/local.

Thanks again!
