Hi,
I'm trying to install postGIS on Mac OS X (Leopard 10.5.5 on intel)
I've downloaded to following binaries:
http://www.kyngchaos.com/files/software/unixport/
PostgreSQL-8.3.3-1.dmg
http://www.kyngchaos.com/files/software/unixport/PostGIS-1.3.3-1a.dmg
And the GEOS 3 and PROJ 3 frameworks from the same site.
I have Postgre up and running with a database called SDM,
I then ran this command:
sudo su - postgres -c '/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createlang -U postgres
plpgsql SDM'
Which works as far as I can see, but then PostGIS gives this error:
$ sudo su - postgres -c '/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -d SDM -f /usr/
local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql'
Password:
BEGIN
psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE: type
"histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL: Creating a shell type definition.
psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql:44: ERROR: could not
access file "$libdir/liblwgeom": No such file or directory
This comes up occassionally on the list, and seems to be a problem
with configuring the compilation (shouldn't be in this case) or
LD_LIBRARY_PATHS at runtime (a linux problem, doesn't apply to OSX).
Maybe the logs have something helpful? Open Console.app and see if
there is anything in "All Messages" first. Hopefully there will be an
expanded error message about that $libdir - what did Postgres actually
try.
