(1) did you remember the include directory? (2) I think this process will not work unless /pgsql was also the install directory on the source machine. You can check that by running pg_config by hand and seeing what it prints for INCLUDEDIR, but it looks to me like it just parrots what PG's configure expected the installation path to be. (This is assuming that PostGIS's configure even pays attention to what pg_config says for INCLUDEDIR. I've not checked.) Is there a good reason why you're not building Postgres on the same machine where you're building PostGIS? It seems like a recipe for trouble, with little to be gained. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
