hi Strk,

i ran the ldconfig (load dynamic configuration) in the same directory as
json-c make.
then tried again, still getting the same error.

is there any thing else that i should check?

thanks

Hi all,I am a newbie on PostGIS. I have a database converted from Netcad Spatial Data to PostGIS. My maps seems to work fine but I don't know how to query all objects between the following coordinates:26.3456 - 27.21546 Eastern Meridians36.1254 - 42.87875 Northern ParallelsCan anybody help?Many thankstelmessos

Did we solve this on IRC already ?
If not you somebody else had the same problem and solved by 
recompiling libjson-c

Add a SRID parameter to ST_MakeEnvelope to match the SRID
of your column.

Read more in the PostGIS manual.

[postgis-users] radius of buffer parameter issue at st_buffer function...

2012-01-17 Thread ZHAO Gorton
I am using postgis 1.5 and use the st_buffer function with my spatial queries. 
I have set the srid to 3308 for my spatial data which the measurement unit is 
meter, but when I use the st_buffer function and set the radius of buffer in 
meter. The spatial queries return far more rows than what I expected. The 
measurement unit of radius of buffer in st_buffer function does not seem to me 
to be in meter. Instead of using 10 for a radius of 10 meters, I have to use a 
value of 10*1.7453292519943283E-5 instead. What could be the problem with this 
st_buffer function? I do not mind to use this value but it is not what postgis 
documented. It would be appreciated if you could help on this.

Re: [postgis-users] radius of buffer parameter issue at st_buffer function...

2012-01-17 Thread Mike Toews
Are you sure your coordinates are projected? Could you get an example
EWKT from you dataset using:

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(geom)
FROM mytable LIMIT 1;

If you are seeing something like POINT(147.65625 -33.046875), which
has linear units of degrees (not metres), then you need to properly
set the SRID and transform them:

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_geom, 4326), 3308))
FROM  mytable LIMIT 1;

Note: I'm only guessing 4326 for WGS84, but your data could use a
different datum.

If your geometries are indeed projected, and the linear distances make
sense, make sure your geometries are valid:

SELECT * FROM mytable
WHERE NOT ST_IsValid(geom);

Invalid geometries cause havoc with some operations.
