Thread: Proper Installation of Postgres and Postgis on 10.5 Intel

Proper Installation of Postgres and Postgis on 10.5 Intel

From

I tried now for weeks to get postgres & postgis going on my machine,
in vain... Lots of frustration has been built up, lots of energy went
into it... But nothing goes... I mean, postgres is running, postgis is
installed, but it constantly craches, doesn't accept shp2pgsql imports
etc...

So, can anybody give me installation instructions on how to install
postgres & postgis on Leopard (with a MacPro)? Either by hand-
compiling or with MacPorts? Or some other stuff? Strange enough, even
the kyngchaos libs didn't work, even after having completely re-
installed my machine...

Thanks thousand times for any such advice!

Stef

What error messages have you got?

What ./configure options did you use?

What crashes - the client process running the command? or the whole
postgres server?

Do you have any core dumps? Or crash logs?

Does shp2pgsql give any messages? Have you looked in console.log?

Is the shp file known to import ok on other installations?
