Hi Adrian,

I will try this and get back to you. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your response. From the solution you provided, does it mean I
have to build PostgreSQL first from source, before building GDAL from
source?

Alright did a test run of the build.

I installed the dev packages for GEOS and Proj from packages and I already had the xml2 dev libraries.

I built GDAL using the pg_config from my source install of Postgres.

So when building Postgis after building GDAL  I had to do:

--with-gdalconfig=/path/to/gdal/bin/gdal_config

to get it to see the config file and not throw an error. Then Postgis built.

                Hi All,

                I am working on a Linux OS (Centos 6.5). I built GDAL
                successfully from
                source as below:
                ./configure --prefix=/path/to/gdal
                make
                make install

                Next I built PostgreSQL successfully from source as below:
                ./configure --prefix=/path/to/pgsql
                make
                make install

                I attempted to configure PostGIS from source as below:
                ./configure --with-pgconfig=/home/path/to/
                pg_config --with-gdalconfig=/path/to/gdal
                --with-geosconfig=/path/to/geos-config
                --with-xml2config=/path/to/xml2-config
                --with-projdir=/path/to/proj
                --with-gui --with-raster --with-topology

                but I get the following error:
                configure: error: PostGIS raster requires OGR to be
                enabled in GDAL. Use
                --without-raster to build without raster support.

                I sure need the raster support to be enabled in PostGIS.
                Could anyone
                help me out with this.



            Use the Postgres YUM repos:

            https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/
            <https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/>

        Been  years since I did this but you could (re)build GDAL with
        OGR as
        requested in the error message.


    Did a little digging into this and the magic sauce seems to be:

    --with-pg=ARG           Include PostgreSQL GDAL/OGR Support (ARG=path to
                              pg_config)


    So something like:

    ./configure --prefix=/path/to/gdal --with-pg=/home/path/to/pg_config

    which on my machine got, among other things:

    PostgreSQL support:        yes

        rjs
