Обсуждение: Error during make when installing geos for postgis install...still trying
Still having problems installing the geos file when trying to install postgis...have a printout of errors we are still getting computer/compiler/postgis info rhel 5, gcc-4.1.2-46el14.4.1 postgis1.4.0 below is our process and the errors we are getting, can anyone tell us where the issue is?

But I concur with the suggestions to install RPMs built by someone else, instead. In a Red Hat system it's just a lot easier to manage software that's packaged that way than to deal with "loose" software. If you really feel a need to do it yourself, why don't you download Devrim's SRPMs and build RPMs from those? You could study the spec files to see what you missed while trying to do it by hand. regards, tom lane

GEOS requires C++ rather than C, and so you need to install the gcc C++ compiler using yum as several other people have already pointed out. PostGIS is complaining because it's looking for the geos-config file installed by GEOS, and so since GEOS hasn't been installed then it isn't there.

The geos-config file in the tools/ subdirectory is a special pre-generated one for people building using MSVC. Also it looks as if you've extracted the geos-3.2.0.tar.bz2 file in /usr/local which is wrong - /usr/local is the *target* i.e. where the resulting files will be copied to when they have been built. You should extract the file in a separate location, perhaps somewhere in your home directory. > Don't mean to keep asking the same question over and over, I'm new at > this. Happy New Year, mine would be much happier if I could have this > all installed now!! From what you've reported, it does seem that you're struggling somewhat with the build process. I would second the suggestion that you add the yum.pgsqlrpms.org repository as pointed out earlier in this thread and then simply use your normal package management tool to do the work for you.
