I hope that works out. :)
That being the case, I will postpone asking the list about
alternatives to building new PostGIS related components from source
when one's server distros are getting a bit long in tooth until I
really need to know.
Your previous email, I believe, suggested you were more interested in
using packages than building from source.
In case you're interested in something slightly different...
Ubuntu provides package-creation tools, if you need to bundle your own
packages from a source build.
I use Debian, on which Ubuntu is based, and if I were going to build my
own packages, I'd start by reading up on the dpkg-dev package. It might
be called something slightly different in Ubuntu.
`apt-cache show dpkg-dev` says:
Recommends: build-essential, gcc | c-compiler
[...]
Description: package building tools for Debian
This package contains the tools (including dpkg-source) required to
unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.
.
Most Debian source packages will require additional tools to build -
for example, most packages need the `make' and the C compiler `gcc'.
