Hi list

I'm in trouble with a fresh install of postGIS 1.2.1 with postgreSQL 8.2.4

After database creation (and plpgsql language creation), I tried to load postgis function by issuing the command:
    psql -d netherlands -f /home/gba/apps/share/lwpostgis.sql
and I got the following error:
psql:/home/gba/apps/share/lwpostgis.sql:43: ERROR: could not load library "/home/gba/apps/lib/liblwgeom.so.1.2": libgeos_c.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems to be a simple misconfiguration but...
1) libgeos_c.so.1 exists, it's located in /home/gba/apps/lib, as liblwgeom.so.1.2. 2) /home/gba/apps/lib is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and in a conf file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d
3) I did ldconfig as root
4) Finally, ldd /home/gba/apps/lib/liblwgeom.so.1.2 /home/gba/apps/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 ouputs the following:
/home/gba/apps/lib/liblwgeom.so.1.2:
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libgeos_c.so.1 => /home/gba/apps/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 (0xb7f08000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

I read several posts on this list related to library problems and tried the proposed solutions but I still can't get rid of that error... Is there any known bug about Geos and PostGis, do I use the right versions ?

By the way, here is some additional information about my config
- Ubuntu 7.0.4 feisty
- postgreSQL 8.2.4 installed through apt-get
- geos 2.2.3 compiled from source
- proj 4.5.0 compiled from source

I'm stuck... Does anybody can help ?


Hi!

I had the same promlem, some time ago. It disappeard when i was starting the sql-command inside the sourcetree of postgis. Another solution was to change the path variable in the sql-statement with the absolute path to the lib. No brilliant solution, but it works... ;) If you have a fresh geos-installation, an ldconfig -v (?) in maybe usefull. Another thing: you have to ensure, that the postgres-user can read the lib, so you have zu check the rw-settings in your /home-dir.

Bye Uwe

Hi Uwe and thank you very much for your help !
The first 2 solutions didn't work with my config but I tried ldconfig once again and notice that my application directory was not scanned. I finally realised that my ld.so.conf wasn't properly configured... ooops !
Thanks anyway

Bye Gilles
