Thread: Installation of Postgis/postgresql
Trying to install postgis on LINUX machine, need to find the geos- config file, as seems it is no where to be found after download of postgis in the ./configure step, is there anyone that can give me a clue on how to find this file? Ultimate goal is to get postgis working so we can use geom data type in the tables on postgresql, and to get php to be able to talk to postgresql when scripts are run using pg_connect function. during ./configure of postGIS errors out looking for geos-config during ./configure of geos errors out looking for g++ to the best of my knowledge g++ is part of gcc and we have a current version of the gcc compiler on the computer Thanks, Nick
Nick, You'll find GEOS questions get answered better on the GEOS mailing list (http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geos-devel), BUT: If ./configure is not finding g++ then odds are, you don't have it installed (type g++ on the commandline, see what happens). Use your package manager to do a search for "g++" or "c++" and find out which package hold it, then install it. Keep working on getting GEOS built and installed, you can't proceed with PostGIS until you get past that step. Also build and install Proj4 (http://trac.osgeo.org/proj) before proceeding with PostGIS. Best, Paul Also, your PostGIS questions will be better answered on http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 6:24 PM, Nick <nick.uebelhor@noaa.gov> wrote: > Trying to install postgis on LINUX machine, need to find the geos- > config file, as seems it is no where to be found after download of > postgis in the ./configure step, is there anyone that can give me a > clue on how to find this file?

So you haven't got it installed.

"Red Hat" is pretty darn nonspecific, but on recent Fedora g++ is
part of the gcc-c++ package.

Assuming thats RHEL5,
yum install gcc-c++
if its RHEL4 or earlier, use up2date instead. either of these will
require a RHN subscription to be activated.
if it is in fact, centos 3,4,5,
yum install gcc-c++
and you don't need any subscription
Problem is we already have gcc-c++ but when we try to do a ./configure for the geos3.2.0 install it gives errors saying it is looking for g+ +, is it version of gcc-c++ is the highest upgrade and should have g++ included according to tech specialist. He is actually doing the install...trying to find more info so we can move on from install stage. Any more ideas appreciated...Thanks, Nick

More info did a
rpm -qa | grep gcc
and gave me
gcc-4.1.2-46el14.4.1
Thinking was that this included the g++, is that not the case? Or do
we need a version gcc-c++? Thanks, hope you can help.

I remember at least 2 responses who told you to install gcc-c++ package using yum. yum -y install gcc-c++ Also, as Joshua wrote, if you were using PostgreSQL RPM repository, you would be able to install all components in a few minutes, without compiling things: http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/howtoyum.php Regards, -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE Command Prompt - http://www.CommandPrompt.com devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
