Re: Error During PostGIS Build From Source on Linux

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?

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/

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
