Thread: installation of postgis with red hat 9

Hello,

Has anyone installed postgis successfully on red hat 9? Red hat comes with a
version of postgresql (7.3.2) already installed, and when I do "make" for
postgis, I get a message saying

[root@localhost postgis-0.8.1]# make
Makefile:38: ../../src/Makefile.global: No such file or directory
Makefile:145: /src/Makefile.shlib: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/src/Makefile.shlib'.  Stop.

I have followed the installation process described on Postgis website. Is is
possible to install postgis with this installation of postgresql, or do I need
to install it from postgresql website to have a proper source tree?

Thank you for your answer, Marie-Lise.

I think you'd better use RPMS to satisfy the dependencies, etc.

AFAIR, if you want to compile postgis, you should at least do a
./configure on PostgreSQL source...
