Installation of Postgis/postgresql

Nick,
You'll find GEOS questions get answered better on the GEOS mailing
list (http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geos-devel), BUT:

If ./configure is not finding g++ then odds are, you don't have it
installed (type g++ on the commandline, see what happens). Use your
package manager to do a search for "g++" or "c++" and find out which
package hold it, then install it. Keep working on getting GEOS built
and installed, you can't proceed with PostGIS until you get past that
step.

Also build and install Proj4 (http://trac.osgeo.org/proj) before
proceeding with PostGIS.

Best,

Paul

Also, your PostGIS questions will be better answered on
http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users

so we can use geom data type in the tables on postgresql, and to get
php to be able to talk to postgresql when scripts are run using
pg_connect function.

during ./configure of postGIS errors out looking for geos-config

during ./configure of geos errors out looking for g++

to the best of my knowledge g++ is part of gcc and we have a current
version of the gcc compiler on the computer

Thanks,
Nick

if you type 'g++' and hit return, do you get the message: 'g++: no input files'

What distro are you running?

Which Linux? Many distros have PostGIS and related stuff in their
repositories. You don't need to compile them.

You need to *install* Geos first, before installing PostGIS.

c++ is a separate package, generally gcc-c++ or such.

So you haven't got it installed.

"Red Hat" is pretty darn nonspecific, but on recent Fedora g++ is
part of the gcc-c++ package.

Assuming thats RHEL5,

yum install gcc-c++

if its RHEL4 or earlier, use up2date instead. either of these will
require a RHN subscription to be activated.

if it is in fact, centos 3,4,5,

yum install gcc-c++

and you don't need any subscription

Problem is we already have gcc-c++ but when we try to do a ./configure
for the geos3.2.0 install it gives errors saying it is looking for g+
+, is it version of gcc-c++ is the highest upgrade and should have g++
included according to tech specialist. He is actually doing the
install...trying to find more info so we can move on from install
stage. Any more ideas appreciated...Thanks, Nick

and gave me

gcc-4.1.2-46el14.4.1

Thinking was that this included the g++, is that not the case? Or do
we need a version gcc-c++? Thanks, hope you can help.

Did you read the previous e-mails? I remember at least 2 responses who
told you to install gcc-c++ package using yum.

yum -y install gcc-c++

Also, as Joshua wrote, if you were using PostgreSQL RPM repository, you
would be able to install all components in a few minutes, without
compiling things:
