PostgreSQL 8.1 on ubuntu-linux 6.06  (kernel 2.6.15-27-686):

Compiled proj-4.4.9 and geos-2.2.3 without problems.

Output from postgis-./configure-Command:

make check with problems:
"...ERROR:  function postgis_lib_version() does not exist
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You may
need to add explicit type casts...."


Running lwpostgis.sql on my database results in multiple errors:
"BEGIN

DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.

What went wrong?

Did you run make install agains geos? Is the path that libgeos_c.so.1
lives in ldconfig path?

Hi Devrim,
I did run make against geos, but ldconfig afterwards had no entries for
libgeos_c.so.l. So I did it again, but read the geos-Install-document
more carefully:

"Linux: Make sure that /usr/local/lib is added to /etc/ld.so.conf
       Make sure that you run /sbin/ldconfig afterwards"

Afterwards the PostGIS-compilation and installation run without problems.

Thanks

Ludwig
