NOTE - You must edit the PostGIS Makefile and make sure that USE_GEOS=1 is
set. Also adjust GEOS_DIR to point to your GEOS installation directory.
<OL>
<LI>Download PostGIS source from <TT><A NAME="tex2html8"
HREF="http://postgis.refractions.net">http://postgis.refractions.net</A></TT>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Untar PostGIS into the contrib subdirectory of the postgresql build directory. The contrib subdirectory is located in the directory created in step 3 of the PostgreSQL installation process.
</LI>
<LI>Change to the postgis subdirectory
</LI>
<LI>Edit the Makefile to enable GEOS support (see the note above)
</LI>
<LI>PostGIS provides a manual in the doc/html subdirectory that explains the build process (see the Installation section)
</LI>
<LI>The quick and dirty steps to install PostGIS are:
<PRE>
cd contrib
gunzip postgis-0.8.0.tar.gz
tar xvf postgis-0.8.0.tar
cd postgis-0.8.0
make
make install
createlang plpgsql yourtestdatabase
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f postgis.sql
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql
</PRE>
</LI>
</OL>
